Apparently the funding was always to create a bunch of resources then shut down any ongoing funding

The Safe Schools decision is where I'm frankly wondering what the point was of replacing Abbott.

MonoAus posted:Exactly this. Abbott wasn't replaced because he was too conservative. Abbott was too obvious, and increasingly difficult to control in public. Turnbull can sit there looking suave as he wants, and he may actually hold some okay views on some subjects, but at the end of the day he is beholden to two conservative parties. More so, because really has to work hard to keep the conservatives happy.

He said, if that happened, the minister had assured him the remainder of the program’s funding would be “pulled”. That's pretty poo poo.

The more I think about George Christensen, the more his sheer existence as a politician in Australia saddens me. He said all these things. He believes all of them, he genuinely thinks he's in the right by doing all this. And he's not only not alone, so many other people agree with him on this that he's a member of the currently-ruling political party. People VOTED for him. Lots of people. poo poo, some of my family probably would've voted for him if they lived in a place where they could. I know my uncle would've. My dad probably would have until I convinced him to vote Greens. I am not looking forward to leaving this closet.

I actually can't put into words how disgusted and angry I feel reading that 'statement' on the article about safe schools. Like how much of a soulless human being do you have to be to say that kind of poo poo as a person in power. What happened in your life to leave you empty towards other people.

Sure Here is the Facebook event if you're a user - https://www.facebook.com/events/1139644442736811/ And here is the information regarding times and locations in case you aren't a Facebook user - Monday 6PM, State Library of Victoria, 328 Swanston Street. "No to the gutting of Safe Schools! No to restrictions on the program! Show the government that there is wide community support for Safe Schools. Meet at State Library at 6pm for speeches and a march to the corner of Flinders and Swanston Sts." Also I would expect that there will be a considerable turnout as there is a major rally and march being held on Sunday and these types of things tend to invigorate you to attend more such events. Which is a great thing, and I hope you do come to support the SSP on Monday for there aren't many feelings better than standing alongside thousands and sometimes tens of thousands of people with the same message as you. That is a remarkable feeling that shouldn't be underestimated, if you have the chance and ability to attend protests for anything worthwhile that you believe in, you should jump on the chance.

Hey did everyone in Brisbane just get a loving robocall from Rod Harding at the same time? I'm at work and everyone's mobiles went off at the same time like a god-drat horror film. Then I picked it up HI THIS IS ROD HARDING. seen no such stuff from the LNP so where the gently caress is the ALP getting all its money from. Outspending the LNP is a rarity.

Cleretic posted:I don't use Facebook, so thanks! Definitely, and the event on Sunday is the Palm Sunday Walk for Justice for Refugees. It is being held at the same place as Mondays rally which is the Victorian State Library, and it is scheduled to start at 2PM. Getting there a little earlier would be advised given the large turnout expected, just in case you need time to warm-up to a large crowd etc. I was going to describe the history and significance of this event, but I'd rather just copy the words from the Facebook page as they explain it much better than I could. I apologise for the length of this, but I feel this is something that should be reflected upon and to recognize the many organisations that support humane treatment of refugees against an abhorrently cruel and harsh Government. "Speakers include: Daniel Webb - Human Rights Law Centre Nazir Yousafi - Refugee & President Victorian Afghan Associations Network Senator Sarah Hanson Young – Australian Greens Interfaith Panel: Rabbi Jonathan Keren-Black - The Leo Baeck Centre, Mohamed Mohideen - Islamic Council of Victoria, Stuart McMillan, President Uniting Church, Lisa Fitzpatrick - State Secretary ANMF Pamela Curr - Asylum Seeker Resource Centre Musical performances by Dan Sultan, Melbourne Mass Gospel Choir, South of the River, Little Foot and Shaking The Tree (Dan Sultan will be performing at the end of the march in Queen Vic Gardens, half the speakers will also be at the end of the march). In 2014 nearly 10,000 attended the Palm Sunday rally. In 2015, 75 organisations endorsed the event and an estimated 15,000 people attended. We want the 2016 gathering to be bigger still. New Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has expressed 'concern' over abuses on Manus and Nauru, but has not made any policy changes. The Coalition government has flagged its intention to return 267 people including 72 children to Nauru. We want to Let Them Stay, we want to Close Manus and Nauru. A large vibrant Palm Sunday event will help to build momentum for change. We currently have 109 different organisations endorsing the 2016 Melbourne Palm Sunday Walk for Justice for Refugees event. 1. 1. Act for Peace 2. Adventist Development and Relief Agency 3.
