Australia is one of the few countries in the world where taxpayers subsidise non-government schools. As more students shift to the private system, the cost to taxpayers continues to escalate. satpa.pe/e77aLcA
Private schools’ million-dollar principals
The government is yet to compel private schools to publish their principals’ salaries, despite concerns that taxpayers are supporting packages up to $1 million a year.

Walter Sofronoff took his fight to the Federal Court. The judgment was painstaking, and the outcome decisive: the finding of serious corrupt conduct stands, writes Andrew Fraser.

Federal Court dispatches Sofronoff empty-handed
The Federal Court has again shown itself to be a brutal arena for rebuilding reputations. In Justice Walter Sofronoff’s case, the court has backed the Integrity Commission’s conclusion of serious corrupt conduct.

After Marcelo Gomes da Silva was arrested by ICE on his way to volleyball practice in Milford, he made a promise to the men he shared a cell with: He’d be a voice for immigrants unfairly detained.

...And by an Australian state. Those laws are supposed to be uniform, but weren't: "Why did Reynolds choose to launch her high-profile case in Western Australia’s Supreme Court? Probably because WA is yet to enact many of the latest defamation reforms across the nation that make it harder to sue."

Why is there so much sexual violence against women? Because powerful men repeatedly role model how to excuse rape, that's why. 😡

the campaign against Wells is specifically designed to remind Albanese not to try anything opposed by corporates like murdoch (including the ABC).
So of the top 30 biggest spenders of family reunion entitlements, Anika Wells is 28th
And within that top 30 most are from non-East Coast state which means airfares will cost more
The entire ‘scandal’ is bullshit

Both positions in line with its vested interests. Evil incarnate.
Just a reminder the media org that has been trumpeting that it cares about kids and their futures and wants social media banned is the same that worldwide has been running climate change disinformation and lies, ensuring the kids will live in a worse world
The November monthly temperatures have been released and 2025 looks set to be the 2nd hottest year on record.
Remember when warming apparently stopped in 1997?
That is more than 0.5C ago.

I recall Bill Shorten saying something like 'if we did something about gambling, then commercial TV would collapse'. And look, that may be the case, but what kind of mental gymnastics do you have to engage in to say 'people having lives ruined by gambling is ok but losing channel 9 isn't?'
“Australians lose close to $32 billion a year from gambling” but “Labor's leadership decided it was not worth acting on gambling advertising and upsetting the powerful lobby”.
