Students with complex communication needs often have difficulty understanding the speech of others and using speech themselves – this can affect a student's access and participation at school. Thats why we are providing grants to schools to buy software & apps inc Proloquo2Go.

Five women allegedly murdered by an intimate partner in eight days. A scan of the media: no headlines. A look at our national (publicly funded) prevention organisation: crickets. Minister for Women and Minister for Social Services, nothing. Where is the outrage? The leadership?

@JaneCaro gets it.

“I am sure that there are people in private education now who are also uncomfortable with the extraordinary funding divide, and also the extraordinary and growing class divide, which has developed over the last 20 years.”

Education in Australia is at crisis point - at ALL levels. Public funding of wealthy schools plus huge fees at #tertiary just part of the problem. Terrific article. Remember: our future is already evolving. @JaneCaro @JennaPrice @palaceletters @Jayrgoodall

Tax free status these schools. Tax. Free.

Time for Labor to get serious on this disgrace.

We've made a submission to the @CityOfMelbourne, calling for:

◾ A new levy on short-stay properties, to help fund homelessness and affordable housing initiatives.
◾ Prioritising community workers as ‘key workers’ in need of local affordable housing.

@Kat_Daley @joegarra61 …but not sure about the 1 million figure

[Jo Hatcher @Jo_Hatcher_]

@Kat_Daley @joegarra61 There has been an increase in pediatric hospitalizations for EDs and increased demand for services. I think VAHI data is a supportive source.
