No, he survived a party room vote on who should be leader of his party.

Imagine a whole country full of America's most inbred redneck white trash except without the blue states to provide a semblance of guidance and restraint and then think about how they would respond to intelligence in a politician.

"That's why I put up with it."
I mean, on the one hand I'm cautiously optimistic about the M4 thing since it does go from 5 lanes to 2 in less than a kilometer and part of the reason I'm stressing out so much is having to drive from rooty hill to auburn on in every single day, but on the other hand I'm almost a hundred percent certain they're going to gently caress everything up since they're tory fucks and I'm going to die somewhere in the mix of all this.

Or be charged tolls in which case I'm just quitting my job, gently caress that.

Phonics is the act of teaching someone how to read by teaching the relationship that letter combinations have to the vocal sound they make (e.g., teaching that "ch" in all instances makes the "ch" sounds... actually this is hard to explain in text). The main criticism to this approach is that it divorces the "reading" of words from the meaning of words; you raise a generation of students who can read novel words relatively well but cannot place them in a larger language and grammatical context. The best educational models (as far as I'm aware) advocate for a phonics method to be taught alongside a "whole language" approach which involves teaching word context and definitions alongside novel words.

Interesting tidbit, I learned about the distinction between the two because a return to phonics education was one of the signature aspects of the "no child left behind" educational act in the US which was a major reform of the US education system by Bush II.

I think this should be the last word on phonics:

You know the US has the deep south. We have the deep west and the deep north. Basically the further you get away from Melbourne the worse everything gets.

The only exception to this is QLD which is the worst all the time irrespective of proximity to Melbourne. I can say this with the Authority of someone who lives in one of the furthest capital cities from Melbourne.

Pretend I posted the torturing children vote here. Wilkie and Bandt are the only two redeeming features of the lower house.
