I’d come to believe that modern politics had become too small, too petty, to ever do the big vision nation-building stuff again - then @albomp.bsky.social announces FULL FUNDING OF PUBLIC EDUCATION at the National Press Club today.
Hope! Ambition! OPTIMISM! Friends, I burst into tears!

- this agreement raises that commitment to FULL funding
- the government has locked in agreements with every state except the Tories in Queensland, who will cave under public pressure.
- Watch the NPC speech
Let’s go!
But no, this plan is for 25% Cwth funding of public schools with the rest funding the rest.
Still, better than nothing
Labor needs to be very loud & well coordinated in their messaging this election.
(And a well orchestrated anti-nuke campaign could help, too.)
