Work in health, mum of teen. Thoughts are my own.

@aaronsmith They do make it obvious. It was obvious to me when I flew through the US.

@adamliaw What would they possibly even have to question?

[Lisa Paulin @fishtish]

@GladysB @abcnews my nephew, aged 16, full time construction apprentice. Ineligible for vaccine, which means ineligible to work. Ineligible for income support. What’s he meant to do? #SydneyOutbreak #covidnsw

[Lisa Paulin @fishtish]

Appalling is right!

[Virginia Trioli @LaTrioli]

Staggering. Just appalling.

[Lisa Paulin @fishtish]

@GladysB what about income support for full time workers under 17 years who can’t work now. My nephew was already let down by the education system and now loses again. @ScottMorrisonMP #COVID19nsw @abcnews

@EpicGames if my son’s account got hacked, how do I get in touch to reinstate? Or do you just let the hackers win? I can’t contact you without the account being active for us.

@jane13barnes I’ve never seen yellow ones. I love them too.

@ArmandaAndrade @wagsy83 @viera_gb @russellcrowe Just smaller

[Lisa Paulin @fishtish]

@Pherdinand2 @QandA I agree. Mostly it requires compassion and understanding.

[Lisa Paulin @fishtish]

@Hannahmayfiel16 @QandA Hope not! I’m remaining optimistic.

[Lisa Paulin @fishtish]

@Hannahmayfiel16 @QandA Teachers and schools have hurt him. Irreparable damage. He’s doing well now, very resilient. He’s kind and funny and smart.

[Lisa Paulin @fishtish]

@appleshk @QandA It’s much easier than it should be. We had no recourse, totally up to the principal. Harder now in Victoria since the 2017 @VicOmbudsman report into expulsion though, thank goodness!

[Lisa Paulin @fishtish]

@Hannahmayfiel16 @QandA Initially, he ran away from school at five. Got a three day suspension. He has behaved with frustration to teachers, but he was also locked in a cupboard for hours by a principal, so it’s a complicated situation.

[Lisa Paulin @fishtish]

@QandA The risks can be reduced and mitigated when the right funding and support is put in place. We are a positive example of turning it around. #qanda

[Lisa Paulin @fishtish]

@QandA Yes and yes. My son was expelled at 6, then nearly again at 9. More than 100 suspensions. Missed almost six years of classroom teaching. Now year 7 and trying to catch up and start from scratch. It has almost destroyed us. #qanda

[Lisa Paulin @fishtish]

@Polite_Lion @QandA This is exactly the type of discrimination kids with these needs don’t deserve.

[Lisa Paulin @fishtish]

Discrimination also exists for kids with mental health and trauma issues. Teachers might be caring, but often not for kids who need it most. #qanda
