So the LNP will scrap practice payments for nurses and midwives & educators - another 500k votes lost
What is wrong with this group - health care providers and educators are vital for the health education and wellbeing of our nation

I hope the parents rip the author a new one! A variation of the same letter was sent to parents of catholic students in Hamilton, Dan Tehans home town. Not good enough Catholic Education Office!

Writing to parents in an effort to retain your overgenerous funding, not getting into any issue of who to vote for in terms of social equity, reducing poverty etc.
So not surprised

Bah! The Catholic churches and schools were directing their parishioners and student parents to vote Liberal / DLP from back in the 60s. They have never been "a-political".

Impose tax and halt any school funding.
If the MACS are a lobbyist for the LNP then they must be an assessable private entity. As a taxpayer, I resent my money being directed their way.
Morons.

Having worked in the Catholic education system in the recent-ish past this is beyond the pale. Simply disgusting.

Separation of church and state? Not where Comensoli and his corporate Catholicism is concerned.

Women (nuns and teachers) kept Catholic education alive, these aresholes will destroy it

The "Jesus wants you to vote Liberal" faction of Catholicism gives me the shits.
Jesus had (and has) a much more expansive view of how God's love should be carried into the world. This narrow emphasis on school funding is pharisaical.
I hope it backfires on them.

News the LNP are preferencing One Nation in the upcoming election truly shows you how truly despicable Dutton is: he’s happy to preference a party which employs a convicted rapist.

Fuck sake.

Dear alternative Prime Minister Peter Dutton: Neither the ABC nor Guardian Australia is “the hate media” as you assert. This is an egregious smear/incitement. A robust liberal democracy needs a free and questioning media. By misrepresenting ABC/Guardian you expose your illiberalism.

#NewsBreakfast James Glenday constantly rebutting what Jason Clare is saying on behalf of the coalition. Has he taken on a coalition role - don’t think that was what journalists did. Is he terrified of the “allowing” a Labor person to actually speak? #AusVotes25 #Auspol

No wonder he hates the ABC

4 corners discovered that since 2002, the Dutton family made millions from multiple childcare business dealings with a group closely linked to controversial ABC Learning mogul Eddy Groves — the man at the centre of one of Australia's biggest corporate collapses #auspol

This is why Dutton called the ABC “hate media”. It’s because he HATES how they scrutinise him. They’ve exposed his dishonesty over a family trust which bought and sold childcare centres, helping to explain why he’s a multi-millionaire. Dutton can’t be trusted!

Toll on his family?

He chose to go into politics.

He chose to bring his family into politics.

Now he wants sympathy?

Not fit to be PM if he needs sympathy.

His choices.

Stop looking for sympathy.

Unbelievable.
