Over 5,000 educators and advocates have already put their support behind our pay rise demand, but we need your support too. The more people put their support behind our pay rise demand, the harder it is for decision-makers to ignore us bigsteps.org.au/we-demand-25

“For too long poverty wages have driven educators away, and now there just aren’t enough educators left to deliver the services children need. This cannot go on." 💯%! @helengibbo @BigStepsUWU theguardian.com/australia-ne… #auspol
