@pfh007 @TheKouk I too am struggling to comprehend why we sell secondary schooling.

@TheKouk High school students? From China? Don’t tell me. Some neoliberal boomer fake economics. Wealthy Australia cannot afford to fund high school education without extracting school fees from Chinese with annual incomes of less than $US10,000? Pathetic. Fails the pub test.

Excellent decision. It was a massive over reaction

@ErmoPlumber @matt_barrie Agreed this could be the Coalition's pink batts moment.

@matt_barrie @TedGaribaldi How about the absolute crucifixion of Peter Garrett after those 4 insulation installer deaths. Garrett dared not point out that the number of deaths was average for the turnover of work performed during that huge stimulus spend. lets hope this time media is equally unforgiving

How to create pandemic in Australia 101. Rapidly bring 100,000 people into the country so universities don't go bankrupt. #auspol #ausbiz smh.com.au/politics/feder…

Italy: state of emergency, halt entry from hot zones, close schools, buildings, restaurants, cafes Singapore: orange alert US: "If Singapore can't contain it, I don't see any country can” Australia: let’s break quarantine to bring 100,000 students back from China #auspol #ausbiz

"Lots of nice people can try to create a high-trust society by example. But if more than a small proportion of the population always acts on golden opportunities to benefit themselves at the expense of the common good, this approach cannot work" quillette.com/2020/02/22/pro…

@AvidCommentator @kary_cee Why have we become so dependent on these income streams? I have no pity for a sector with such a one dimensional business model.

@kary_cee For the moment it's just HS students, but it's likely a pilot program for uni students as census dates approach. Its certainly tough & I have a great deal of sympathy for individual students. But frankly I think the unis should be adapting better with more online options.

Do you support the Morrison government ending the China travel ban, for Chinese high school students returning to Australia to study? Please consider retweeting for the largest possible sample size abc.net.au/news/2020-02-2…

Hard man.

A complete waste of money. smh.com.au/national/nsw/y…

On the eve of a global pandemic our customs are being loosened putting thousands at risk. What exactly does this Govt stand for?

@abcnews What an absolute disaster. Our greed will kill us. They can be home schooled like so many remote kids are in Australia in natural disasters.

@smh @74Barbara And if me or anyone in my family contract this illness who do I seek compensation from?

@AvidCommentator Why is secondary schooling for foreign students an income stream?

The ScoMo govt has partially lifted the China travel ban Allowing high school students into the country to study States & territories must agree for their entry to be allowed This is a huge risk being taken with the health of the Australian public 7news.com.au/politics/coron…

@matt_barrie Local council come down to book cars parked front while the under 11 girls grade for netball. #familyfriendly. #whereareourpriorites.

@pfh007 They are big Oz but let Judith Sloane have say. Much better at diversity of opinion than smh.

@TedGaribaldi I was testing whether the Oz would walk the talk when it comes to freedom of speech. The moderation is generally very good.

That's a terrific letter. The Liberals own this policy so when it tanks its their fault.

You when there's rumbling on the letters pages of the Oz the Libs are on borrowed time. They are only one bad decision away from the brink. What will it be, Health of citizens or education sector?

@aussie_oenpelli @mektronik Whatever happened to Tony Burke's report?

@mektronik Yeah nah, I propose this one: abc.net.au/news/2010-06-2…

@matt_barrie Jesus. It's a sea of adidas gazelles and stone island about to kick off. Get Out while you can.

This is what she’s patrolling.

Nanny state regulation in @woollahramc - literally a nanny, Suze Rich, head of regulatory. Why was she patrolling a pub at 945pm with a clipboard writing up infractions? “I don’t discuss this with patrons”. I said I’m a constituent. She wrote down my name. #nswpol #auspol

@fonforest @AJT_1980 @WiggumCharm Went to a year one celebrity day as Gary Birtles in a red Adidas Originals shirt. The class sat in silence thinking WTF. Did all over again in 4th grade with a Heaven 17 cassette.

@fonforest @AJT_1980 @WiggumCharm Funny. I'm a 40 year Forest fan from Sydney. My dads family is from Nottingham. As sad as it sounds I can't break the knot, the thrill, the disappointment of following them. This said I follow Sydney FC and Australia pretty closely. Have travelled to wcq and Asia Cup games.

Lads. I’m gonna have to stop going to watch Forest. Joe2905 thinks it’s pathetic to have a few beers watching a team you’ve grown up with. Sad it has to end this way, but the moral voice of following football (from the settee) has spoken.

Excellent article. Laser like in focus on the problems afflicting Australia. Pretend capitalists who want all the rewards yet none of the risks. Your ability to influence and lobby is more important than innovation. smh.com.au/national/the-e…
