I appreciate folks who are in the P&C. But getting emails about donating to the tax-deductible building fund for a public school absolutely infuriates me. This is what inequality looks like. Public Schools in lower socioeconomic areas don’t have building funds, private schools have pools and more.

the Minns government is refusing to find $30 million pa to retain public system psychiatrists while announcing over $100 million for prisons - places that cause and exacerbate mental health conditions - in case you were wondering about NSW Labor priorities.
