The submarines are already taking rumoured 25% of our taxes (not this is not factual nor verified, just hearsay). So something has to give. Something gets cut or we have to pay more.
Remember how the education section was our third biggest export after coal? Then a few bad comments, budget slashes and COVID and now it's our fourth. We don't want to be killing our economy through racism and stupidtiy.
When parties mention they are doing something - stopping something, reducing something, adding something - demand to see the costings of how they will do this. Where will the money come from? No government service or policy works in isolation.
We need to think and see clearly. And the parties, ALL parties, owe us that.

We have a similar situation here in the states. The Republicans don’t seem to understand that investments in People are important. Education is the surest investment you can make.
ReplyDeleteSadly we have been butchering our education for well over a decade now. And then complain about the PISA rankings. Go figure.
DeleteFrom what I’m reading, there are many countries that have a section of the population that is now against immigration. And more racism and antisemitism, and anti-any kind of religion that you have no understanding of. It’s exhausting and so sad.
ReplyDeleteI love this phrase and I love this picture. Thanks for sharing and for participating in #WeeklyWonders.
ReplyDeleteTruly something need be done, Lydia. And Victorians are really paying through the nose. We seem to have a Government that is spending public money recklessly, like there is no tomorrow and is making. Melbourne into a huge megalopolis with hardly any infrastructure to support the precipitously rising population. $15 billion is an estimated conservative cost of corruption, extortion, and project blowouts on the state's $100+ billion "Big Build" infrastructure program, allegedly linked to Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU) misconduct... Say no more. Thanks for taking part in the "My Sunday Best" meme.
