Next Monday @4Corners, returns for 2023 and I am first up with a story with @MaryFFallon & Stephanie Zillman. It’s sobering & shocking all at once. It raises vital public policy questions about what taxpayers, parents, all of us expect of the education system. Don’t miss it.

We were seeing double at Ormiston yesterday as they celebrated Two, Two Twosday - 22/2/2022.

Do not let protesters steal your joy. Celebrate all that Victorians have done together. All the sacrifices made. All the moment of solidarity and how we continue to show up for each other with every vaccination.
Do not let them steal your joy.
Tonight we remember Merle Mitchell, regular panellist and member of The Drum family.
More recently a passionate advocate for better aged care, Merle's life was one of community and compassion.
She'll be deeply missed.

Cameras off doesn't reflect disengagement. It helps to prevent burnout and promote attention.
In this week's blog I interview Paul Thomas about his book on the reading wars. He says SOR is not settled and not simple. Have a look and a listen! https://t.co/IoGpQgHrKf
