This is the problem with the reporting on education and how it is interpreted. Many many people (like me) send/ sent their kids to local state schools that may be underfunded but that provide a great education. We need to fight for fair funding AND pride in public education.

Jews in Germany, Bosnians in former Yugoslavia, Tutsis in Rwanda, and now Palestinians in Gaza. In a recent interview, Francesca Albanese posed a rhetorical question: What kind of monsters have we become to see the live-streamed genocide of Palestinians and not act?

Certainty worth watching .. A great actor and accurate thoughts on today’s media. It’s not about fact … it’s about being first. There is no ethics in anything Murdoch produces and the rest of the media world just followed his woeful disingenuous & dangerous example. #auspol

Accidentally burnt in the Yarralumla incinerator! Accidentally! What a metaphorical image: Kerr in top-hat & knee-length tails over the corset: the tottering, handsy, messy-drunk, conniving, vain old fool & his sycophantic colonial henchfolk staffers warming their hands on a bin-fire of democracy.

Carter used the power of his post presidency to nearly eradicate guinea worm. There were 3.5 million cases when the Carter Center’s work began in 1986.

Soak it overnight in the sink, covered in water with a desert spoon of dishwasher powder. Most of that baked on crud should scrub off easily and you'll have years more use of the baking tray.
