THE PROFESSIONAL AND INDUSTRIAL VOICE OF QUEENSLAND’S TEACHERS AND SCHOOL LEADERS IN STATE SCHOOLS AND TAFE FOR MORE THAN 130 YEARS.
The 2019 federal election saw Australia deliver a government elected by the smallest of margins. The extreme political agendas of some of the minor parties again played a major role in significantly disrupting the two-party system.
I want to thank the QTU members and community members who supported and participated in the three campaigns that the QTU supported in the recent federal election.
On closer inspection, this Budget was notable for its unfairness and what was not said.
This Budget announcement can only be viewed as a cynical vote-buying exercise, not a genuine commitment to education for our children
What is a fair go? This concept seems self-explanatory, but when you think about the Morrison Coalition government’s funding model for public education, the idea of a “fair go” for our students is missing.
As yet another federal election looms, it is easy for people to be cynical about the political process in this country. So why do we bother?
