This is terrible news.
Young people are staring down the barrel of a decade of unemployment & underemployment.
Imagine how bad it will get in September when the Govt ends Job Keeper without a serious stimulus plan to employ young ppl who’ve lost jobs in arts, hospitality & retail

Today the Senate called on the Prime Minister to act before more workers and buisnesses hit the wall.
Art does matter, and so do jobs.

We must, we simply must take the protection of our nations children not just seriously, but as a privileged obligation to ensure every child can live their childhood with safety, security and love. Not neglect or abuse.
I don't usually tweet about general politics, but this complete & utter dangerous numbskull who is less than an apology for 🇺🇸 President has to be hooked off the world stage as fast as possible. https://t.co/NKUEzs2SfO @DianeRavitch@daveswords@rweingarten@hargreaves_s
