Plot thickens. "...ABC understands a prominent Tasmanian businessman made the original complaint..." So it appears Rockliff’s Christmas school attack was to pander to big business mate.

Happy 2026!

"The true character of a society is revealed in how it treats its children." – Nelson Mandela

Let's all take a moment to celebrate the educators who changed our lives, or the lives our kids and loved ones! What educators really need isn't a pat on the back: we need our politicians to fund our schools properly, so students can learn in safe classrooms, with enough staff for individual learning.

We've had years of begging for the bare minimum – but Australians have every right to demand the BEST for our students. So if you believe in quality education, hold our politicians accountable when they ask for your vote!
