The thing is an over 330% increase in tax on a strip of land that we maintain for the good state of NSW just doesn't seem reasonable @ChrisMinnsMP! This is not ok.

[Melissa Preston @map23n]

@TAFEeducation @dmookheyMLC @CourtneyHoussos @TaraMoriarty so this is how a state owned corporation conducts business? #disgraceful

[Melissa Preston @map23n]

@brobson_politic Oh my god you had to parent.... wowsers. You doing ok?

[Melissa Preston @map23n]

@aliceleung I don't understand why this is such a difficult concept! It's the same in TAFE as well, though Alice. I guess it's what happens when the recipients of that exclusive private education get
elevated to treasury @MCT_DG

@DavidDun1 @aliceleung I often say I have a chicken and a squirrel constantly fighting in my head. Organisation is not a strong suit, so I message myself often! #ADHDTeacherLife

"We will make judgemens in the best interest of the state" @ChrisMinnsMP this means removing TAFE from smart and skilled in line with the reco's from your own VET Review! If maintain S&S, you take OWNERSHIP of S&S. I'll remind you at the next election.

[Melissa Preston @map23n]

@AmandaRishworth Minister, perhaps you can have a chat with your NSW counterparts about funding TAFE NSW properly so it can continue such important work! @ChrisMinnsMP @dmookheyMLC MUST put an end to smart & skilled funding. If you maintain S&S you take ownership of that policy!

[Melissa Preston @map23n]

Let me be crystal clear @dmookheyMLC @ChrisMinnsMP failure to scrap Smart & Skilled for TAFE, means you become the owners of that policy. We know you can't fix 12 years of systematic destruction, but you don't need to continue it either! @rlong62 @NSWLabor @nswparliament

[Melissa Preston @map23n]

@aliceleung Don't work at TAFE, then! A teacher tops out at $106k, and the highest band for a HT is around $145k.

“We can rebuild TAFE to reskill, upskill and provide foundational learning for all who need it. A revitalised VET system in TAFE is a launching pad for fulfilling, lifelong careers that contribute to a prosperous, socially inclusive NSW," ⁦@AFlohm⁩ https://t.co/QUfEIZNnw6

Thanks @TonySheldonNSW for coming and speaking TAFE TA council today. I hope you were shocked to hear that there is currently NOT ONE degree qualified teacher in a women's prison in NSW. Cracking good job on closing the loopholes Senator!

[Adam Curlis @TAFEeducation]

Big thank you to @TonySheldonNSW for addressing TAFE TA Council this morning about the Closing Loophole amendments to the Fair Work Act which improve job security for a highly casualised workforce. #RebuildWithTAFE

@chrisSWteacher I was absolutely THRILLED to see it Christine!

[Melissa Preston @map23n]

Autonomy over self is a basic human right. My mother was arrested in the 70s protesting for free hospital based abortion as an RN. 50 YEARS LATER I can't believe we're still having this discussion! F*@k the church and f*^k the patriarchy.

Fully funding public schools is an essential first step in making Australia’s schooling system stronger and fairer and ensuring every child can have their needs met.

[Melissa Preston @map23n]

@faerie_emelie I'm making a list and checking it twice 😊

[Melissa Preston @map23n]

@hughriminton Let's clean out the ranks of corporate in Education and TAFE while we're at it. Funding is eaten at every level of corporate and never reaches classrooms to provide meaningful impact.

[Melissa Preston @map23n]

@JaneCaro @buddyhogtrigger @SatPaper We can see how well the voucher system works at TAFE.... NOT! It's impoverished our TAFE system, compounded disadvantage from multiple perspectives, and compounded the skills shortage.

[Melissa Preston @map23n]

@abcnews @FergusonNews @PeterDutton_MP How dare he refer to low wage growth like it was the current government's doing! Outrageous!
