Cowardly. Gutless. Unfit to govern.

Labor just voted against recognising the State of Palestine. They joined Peter Dutton, instead of the 146 other countries who have taken this crucial step for justice. None of us will forget Labor’s complicity and cowardice in the face of genocide.

Grim school funding numbers in new Productivity Commission data. Real government spending per student in public schools grew 2.3% a year in the decade to 2022. But it increased 3.7% a year per private school student - a 60% higher growth rate! The funding model is BROKEN.

Israeli forces have bombed a tent camp in Rafah housing displaced people in a claimed safe zone. 48 hours after the ICJ ordered them to stop, the Israeli military have reportedly massacred more civilians, more women & children. What red line is yet to be crossed, Labor?

This a time to reflect on what Reconciliation means to each of us & how we can honour & make changes to right the wrongs & injustices still felt daily by First Nations people. We need truth telling & Treaty. Only then can we move towards healing and change.

In his #publiceducationday speech yesterday the PM said "we need to fund our public schools properly". Agreed! So why are Labor governments OVERfunding private schools and UNDERfunding public schools? Labor has had 2 years to fix the broken school funding model. Get on with it.

This is how we'll make big mining corporations pay their fair share to fund the things Queenslanders need to live a good life:

Today we’re launching our plan to take back $61 billion from big mining companies 🤑 Did you know that 10 of the biggest mining companies in Queensland pay $0 in corporate tax? 😲 Time to make them pay up 💸💸💸
