@perthnow Public schools value inclusion, tolerance and a fair go for all. We all share a responsibility for providing a safe, supportive and productive environment, free from bullying, harassment, discrimination and violence in our schools. Plus the board does not ‘control’ anything!

A Perth dad is so keen to ensure his children’s school is kept free of ‘woke mind virus’’ and ‘divisive ideologies’ that he is chasing a spot on the school’s controlling board. buff.ly/4b9uU26

@frenchhornrebel In the X settings - turn off all the ‘in-app notifications…

This is why I don’t use X .. it’s just a long stream on notifications by the owner .. how do I turn these off ??

@jasonandrade @alflow @26MoreLives @melanchomical A program run for 18 years now… so let’s accept schools need wellbeing officers and simply fill these positions using standard public sector hiring processes. Remove the third party contractors altogether and scrap the current scheme.

@alflow @26MoreLives @melanchomical Right. But given this program has been in place for 17 years now, if either side of politics intended to scrap the chaplaincy provisions - this could have happened at a number of junctures? So either the community feedback (and ABS data) isn’t compelling or as you’ve noted..

Just a reminder that your Federal Labor Government spends: SIXTY ONE MILLION FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($61,400,000.00) every year on school chaplains education.gov.au/national-stude…

@nickj69 I’m uncertain… where he was heading with the driver anecdotes too…!

We see in our government schools values such as integrity, courtesy, respect for oneself and others, a fair go for all. Many Australians never consider these qualities and values that are central to state school life because they’re not lauded or celebrated enough.

@rosemary They're actually laid out clearly in the Australian curriculum. @EricAbetzMP is plain wrong, again.

Great to see Facebook getting on top of Community Standards and eliminating cybersecurity risks by removing a post about National Eucalyptus Day interstate voting counts for favourite tree species! #NationalEucalyptusDay

The ℹ️ info board at Perth Train Station must be setting some kind of World Record for length of time a digital information board has remained in demo mode! How many years is it now? #Perth #Transperth would love to know the story behind it…

@bradpettitt Very sobering!

This is heartbreaking. The WA Labor Party should be reminded they co-opted this beautiful bird for their 2017 election campaign and then spent the next 8 years fueling climate change and wiping out its habitat. Hopefully now they can change and act. watoday.com.au/environment/co…

@bradpettitt Interesting🤔. Have you spotted this upcoming @UrbanBushlandWA event? bushlandperth.org.au/event/julian-b… how we can reconcile the protection of our urban bushlands and wetlands with increasing urban densification in Perth’s middle ring suburbs... your kind of subject!

And Perth has too few apartments and I would add too many big houses.

A summary in five slides courtesy of @AlanKohler of all that is wrong with the Perth housing market if you’re in the unfortunate position of looking to rent or buy. 1. Rents are up 12.4% over the last year. The highest of all states.

@wa_orchids Such an amazing tiny little critter. We really need to make a song and dance… thanks for sharing - I will be trying to spread the word too!

@Emma_J_Young @WAtoday @withMEAA Thanks Emma - keep writing - your voice is such a valuable contribution to our community. 💪✍🏼

Docking dog tails is illegal in Australia. That it’s permitted in America has sent me into a tailspin. It should be outlawed in every country. Leave puppies intact. Keep tails wagging. #dogslife #airedaleterrier #tailswag

@anotherglassbox @OurNewHomecoach Australians don’t dock dog tails. It’s been illegal here since 2004… there is a breed with a naturally short tail- is that what you’re thinking of? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia…

@OurNewHomecoach I had no idea either until I got one! Apparently the breed standard for Australian Shepherds is typically to dock their tails, which is how most people tell them apart. Ours delights in having a tail and is often mistaken for a border collie.

Me on even numbered days: I don’t know why people say Australian Shepherds are not beginner dogs, she’s so easy to train and incredibly responsive Me on odd numbered days:

Ever been to a Parliamentary Prayer breakfast? What about Morrison and Seven Mountains mandate? Half the Coalition plus many Labor have listened to evangelical extremists like Cindy Jacobs prophesy that Australia would be a theocracy. Where was media then? Christian God Okay?
