What a wonderfully unique present to end my years of publishing and editing Pedals for ICPA Aust
The new publisher is very talented as it's her handiwork that created this gem with a photo from many years ago.

With so much work & heartache going on in this space,to hear a National Code for boarding school students to travel interstate to return home for holidays,is the best news & so welcome!Thank you @senbmckenzie for understanding our rural and remote families https://t.co/64IubTsQcz

[ICPA Federal Council @ICPAFed]

There would be many families whose children have similar days. So close to holidays and school can wait.

[Angus Whyte @GusWhyte]

Son’s home schooling today:
7.30am - 3pm crutching sheep at neighbours
3pm -4pm lunch
4-5pm jetting sheep
5-7pm gutsing cans to dull the pain.

Very similar to boarding school really. 😉

Did you know that you don't need to be isolated or rural to be an ICPA Federal Councillor? Have a listen to what our wonderful Federal Secretary Sue who lives in down town Darwin has to say @nticpa @SAICPA1 @ICPAwa @IcpaQld #AGM #FedConf21

[ICPA Federal Council @ICPAFed]

Have you applied for the Federal Government Tertiary Access Payment (TAP)? Participation in consultations to evaluate the TAP Program are underway and ICPA needs your feedback please. @nticpa @ICPAwa @SAICPA1 @senbmckenzie @IcpaQld @PerinDavey
