Twenty private schools with wealthiest parents received $130m total in Australian public funds in 2023 Data comes as education minister remains stalled in negotiations with states and territories over contributions to Schooling Resource Standard

This is INSANE. Somehow we have decided as a nation that it's fine to give taxpayer funds to the very richest schools while sabotaging public education. How is this okay? How is this sustainable in any way? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Music has given me things that I couldn’t possibly fit into a post. Young people deserve the same joy and connection, which is why @australiainstitute.org.au has worked with The Push to find out what they need – more gigs by young people, for young people! #AusMusict-shirtday. tinyurl.com/3ypbhzxe

✍️ SIGN: Demand the gas industry pays its fair share. Fix the PRRT! The government collects more money from HECS than it does from the PRRT. Australians are missing out on important revenue for public services while gas companies make record profits. We need to inc...

Here's an idea for tax reform:

1. stop subsidising gas and coal mining
2. start making them pay their fair share of tax

It’s me, @mariabamford.bsky.social I’ve just left Twitter. I’m a comedian and had used Twitter to connect with fans and other comedians. I’m not sure how to let people know I’m here. Ha-ha.

not saying anything groundbreaking here, but I really think "politics as a form of content to be served up and consumed like all other forms of content" has been an enormous, underrated disaster in terms of giving folks the illusion of being informed while essentially being gamed like a drug addict

Even as small donors flooded in, campaign finance inequality hit record highs in 2024. For the first time, the top 0.01% (1 in 10K voters) share exceeds 50% of $s. The top 400 donors now exceed 25%.

Citizens United opened the door, but soaring wealth inequality is what's driving these extremes.

This ad copy is art. It's like the winning entry in a one-sentence use-all-the-buzzwords contest. I've read it several times and I still have no clue what it means.
