๐จ Victoria: where parents can withdraw their kids from participating in the Australian National Anthem but canโt withdraw them from classes on gender ideology.
๐ฉ โSchool council president Jackie Dzienciol also responded to parents, saying departmental policy about withdrawal only applied to the โsexual health component of health educationโ โ and did not extend to the Respectful Relationships curriculum.โ
As one of the 37 parents from Caulfield South Primary School prep cohort who have complained to the school told @News24Aust:
๐ฏ โYouโre not only teaching boys that you can violate girlsโ boundaries and identify out of their sex, youโre teaching little girls they must put up with this, they must accept this new reality. I find that very dangerous gaslighting.โ
@OneNationVic deputy leader Colleen Harkin has described the program as an โactivist agendaโ and says her party will remove the program from schools.
๐ Well done to the parents standing up! Ahead of the Victorian election, voters should demand a clear commitment from every candidate to remove this program from schools, to restore parentsโ rights to know what their children are being taught and at a minimum, the right to opt their kids out of lessons promoting dangerous ideologies.

The most graphic literal example of taxpayersโ money going up in smoke. ๐ฅ๐ฅ
And judging by the figures, an extraordinarily expensive smoke at that.
$545,000 for the celebration alone.

Inspector: "I'll be straight with you, there's been a complaint."
Farmer: "There usually is. What have I done?"
Inspector: "Your cattle were seen standing in a field in the rain."
Farmer: "Yes. They do that. They're outside."
Inspector: "The complainant felt they looked wet."
Farmer: "They're waterproof. It's the one thing the manufacturer got right."
Inspector: "I've walked the lot. Water's clean, feet are sound, calves are on their mothers, condition's good. I've nothing to write."
Farmer: "Write that, then."
Inspector: "There's no box for it. The form assumes I've found something."
Farmer: "Put me down as pending."
Inspector: "There's a second complaint. Someone filmed you from the lane shouting at a cow."
Farmer: "That was Mabel. She was stood on my foot."
Inspector: "And the footage of the shed?"
Farmer: "I've one shed and it's behind you. That film was shot in Yorkshire. The group puts its logo over a farm gate and the public fills in the rest."
Inspector: "You've seen the Arla business this week."
Farmer: "I've seen what comes after it. The farm gets suspended, the lorry stops coming, and by Friday the milk's arriving from somewhere that would fail every question you've just asked me and never get asked."
Inspector: "I'll put it down as no action."
Farmer: "You'll be back."
Inspector: "I'll be back. Somebody will see them standing in the sun."

You will recall that in September the High Court refused Sall Grover @salltweets special leave to appeal in the landmark Giggle for Girls v Roxanne Tickle case.
A case of considerable importance to Sal, to biological women in Australia concerned about sex-based rights, & to the future interpretation of the Sex Discrimination Act in this country.
However, today the High Court granted Pauline Hanson special leave to appeal a racial discrimination ruling arising from her long-running dispute with Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi.
The dispute began following Queen Elizabeth IIโs death, when Faruqi made comments about the monarchy & British colonialism that I considered appalling. Hanson responded by telling her to โpiss off back to Pakistan.โ
Hansonโs appeal raises constitutional questions about the Commonwealthโs legislative powers & the implied freedom of political communication.
Iโm pleased Hanson has been granted the opportunity to have those questions heard by the High Court.
But I cannot help reflecting on the contrast.
Both cases raise significant questions about the interpretation & application of Australiaโs discrimination laws, albeit on very different legal grounds.

And I remain deeply disappointed that the High Court declined to hear her appeal particularly so given Hansonโs ruling.
Unbelievable - blaming everyone except themselves. They cannot take responsibility for anything!
Labor has put blame on the Coalition for the 17th rate rise since 2022, arguing the opposition has blocked efforts to rein in government spending.
