30% of all schools in AUS are religious-affiliated (94% of private schools), a disproportionately high rate relative to other OECD nations contributing to cultural conservatism and constantly exploited by LNP.
Secular state? 🤔

Well done Rob for sticking to your guns on needs based school funding and for putting in the extra money to make sure public school get their fair share.
We'll always fight for fair funding for NSW schools. Today @GladysB @Dom_Perrottet and I announced an extra $6.4bn for NSW public schools to ensure all students are treated fairly, no matter where they go to school. bit.ly/2PInyeB

Hooray for our public schools! Valuing diversity and equality, "in step with our universities, our workplaces, and most of us in our day to day lives, the school will strive to be unequivocally inclusive." Great piece @JaneCaro @DavidHeth smh.com.au/national/nsw/scho…

NSW Labor has pledged to build a new co-ed high school in Sydney's eastern suburbs as it zeroes in on the Liberal Party's second most marginal seat of Coogee. smh.com.au/politics/nsw/too-…

I don't love subsidies either. Better we had a carbon price and let the market decide. But declaring renewables bad because of subsidies is ridiculous. Governments built coal plants. Then there's the negative externality: pollution, a cost passed on to society. Facts matter.

But @dizdarm we fight in the East for a new co-ed public HS after others were closed assuming pvt schools was all we wanted. Surely there's a great story in parents who have the means but choose public ed for their kids, cos of the values and equality inherent within. Pls help!

This morning I will be standing up for public schools on ABC Life Matters on @RadioNational at 9am. Not just standing up, but saluting. Respect to every school that takes every kid regardless of who their parents are.

Bought an apartment in the #BronteRSL development expecting a pool for residents? Too bad. Developer Avidan has removed the pool and wants to give the large open space to the retail strata in yet another DA. #dodgy

Re the insidious “sidewalk counseling” argument used in the #safeaccesszones debate-
First principles of counseling are that
- the recipient engages voluntarily
-counsellor is appropriately qualified
- in a private setting
-confidentiality ensured

Over 6000 demountables in our public schools. No amount of spin is going to change that; replacing them with genuine buildings instead of stadiums, would. #schoolsbeforestadiums dailytelegraph.com.au/news/n…
