Today, on Public Education Day I joined the Prime Minister and the AEU to launch the Class Acts documentary.

I thought it was bloody brilliant.

It’s about Australians educated in public schools who have done amazing things.

People like Human Rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson and teacher and community leader Yalmay Yunupiŋu.

It’s also about the teachers who taught them what is possible.

You can watch some of the amazing stories at https://t.co/FxHAANtn2Z

The AEU has today launched Australia’s first national inquiry into public school infrastructure.

Chaired by Sharan Burrow AC, the inquiry will examine the current state of public school infrastructure, assess future needs and recommend long-term funding and policy reforms.
