Study Technology, used by Athena school, has been criticised globally as pseudoscientific Scientology indoctrination that denies learning disabilities, suppresses critical thinking and lacks credible research backing.
We shouldn’t be bankrolling scientology with school funding.

I had never heard about the NAZI connotations of Joy Division before Susssan Ley raised the issue.

When complaining about "the gubbermant" most ignore the basis facts of democracy
Jefferson was right
As a country we need to take a good hard look at ourselves
We're simply not much good at choices
We're in a Gilded Age and the mob seem happy with that
Maybe feudalism is our natural state

I had a letter from an aspiring council member for the South Gippsland Shire last year, as well as claiming that we all had "the right to farm", he also added the gem that clean energy should be "beyond the remit of agricultural land".

Tamworth Council went to court to try and stop a wind farm. It didn’t go well. Tamworth Council argued that the wind turbines would be too big for local roads. The judge pointed out there is no approval needed to drive on a public road reneweconomy.com.au/youve-got-to...
