Classic LNP takes on TAFE ...
Is not any wonder that almost every business in NSW is now crying out for skilled workers? #RebuildWithTAFE #VoteThemOut on March 25

In Feb 2019, during his Dubbo election campaign, Dugald Saunders said TAFE was a big black hole which had to be privatised.
Neither Dugald, nor his National Party colleagues have any credibility when it come to TAFE. They just like the photo ops.

Watching #RoboDebtRC - Kathryn Campbell not being able to recall, and often answering in a short, curt and monosyllabic manner.
How does she now get a job in #Aukus on $900K with no direct reports when her memory appears to be non existent? #auspol

Remember the very first Connected Learning Centre in Dapto? It replaced the much loved Dapto TAFE campus ... but it was not fit for purpose.
But the LNP kept closing colleges and replacing them with these internet connected shopfronts across NSW.

Welcome to Dapto TAFE. Hope you don't need to use a toilet.
❌No basic amenities
❌No library
❌No practical trade courses

Reaffirmed at the RoboDebt Royal Commission this morning that Morrison was the architect and their was excitement about “cracking down” on “welfare recipients”.
Cruel, callous disregard for disadvantaged Australians by the LNP.

I remember that disgraceful comment about TAFE from Dugdale Saunders.
Why won't the National Party actually stand up for regional and rural TAFE students? They don't understand TAFE and constantly tear it down. #RebuildWithTAFE #VoteThemOut on March 25.

Thanks to the current government #NSWVotes At a Mudgee forum before the 2019 election the @NSWNationals candidate said “TAFE was a big black funding hole” with no recognition if the vital role of TAFE in skills education

What is the relationship between the loss of half of all NSW TAFE teachers ... and the skills crisis that affects every business in this state?

To give our students in public schools a better chance we need 100% of the SRS and better working conditions in our schools. Vote 1 @PublicEdParty for the Upper House. @nswppa @nswsdpa @NSWSPC

The Federal Court said the former Government's Robodebt Scheme was a 'shameful chapter in the administration of the Commonwealth social security system and a massive failure of public administration'. Australians deserve to know how it happened, & that it will never happen again.

We need to have a broader conversation around tax & who's benefiting most from the policies currently in place & if they’re working for us as a country.
Changes don't need to start tomorrow but we shouldn't be afraid to start the conversation.

Public education needs 100% of the SRS. Our students need to be supported.

Pretty sure at no point in the past 9 years did Paul Murray ever hold Morrison’s feet to the fire on social welfare policy or say “Look mate I think you should ease up on these people, they’re suffering.”
So he can spare us the crocodile tears

Today is the first International Day for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Awareness.
Australia has always pursued a world without nuclear weapons.
We are redoubling our efforts towards this goal and to strengthening the non-proliferation regime.

Why does King's School - one of Australia's richest schools need $21 million in government funding each year, when it can afford to fork out $15 million for six hectares of cleared and native bushland adjoining Lane Cove national park?
