The true Schoolies Experience is the mad dash down the beach after high school graduation in Australia & the flooding relief that school is over that comes from jumping in the ocean. The #schoolies after party is a just bonus.
Our thoughts are with the injured, their families and those who have lost loved ones because of this tragedy.
On Sunday we issued several life-threatening orders for O- blood, in the wake of the incident at Bondi.
Please make an appointment if you can. https://t.co/dGC0V7Cdsi
Nearly a quarter of a century ago a truck crash just south of the border became the stuff of legend. The semi-trailer was loaded with beer and landed in the river, that week locals went diving for free stubbies.
New data from the Australian Institute of Criminology shows 33 of the 113 people who died in police or prison custody in the last financial year were First Nations — the largest number since records began in 1980.

Australia Institute research shows 80% of Australia���s gas is exported by multinational gas corporations, who then tell us we have a gas shortage. Big Gas is Taking the Piss.

Too many Australians are skipping specialist appointments because they can’t afford gap fees. That’s unacceptable in a country with a universal healthcare system.
Healthcare should be based on need, not bank balance. We need transparency on costs, fairer Medicare rebates, and reforms that put patients first—not profits.
I look forward to working with the Health Minister on this issue. Australians need to know how much it’ll cost before they see a specialist - and the government needs to work on the affordability and availability of specialist visits.

Your nation needs you after @schoolies 2 vote / become a politician, so this shit doesn't happen:
The housing crisis has sucked the @schoolies out of the household budget, attendance is down 30% in recent years.
Surprised this media coverage wasn't of @ColvinKate from @HomelessnessAus chasing you with a shovel.
Another 21,000 social and affordable homes on the way.
Housing providers and community groups say the same thing: this is exactly what Australia needs.
Still got it?
Not so sure I’d qualify anymore for the title of Australian Handball King now that I’ve introduced this great Aussie innovation to an equally great bunch of local elementary school kids from Washington DC.
Also helped by a bunch of local Aussie kids who’d had a little more experience.
Ross Elementary is our new partner as part of the city’s Embassy Adoption Program here in the American Capital.

If you drink a lot for days in a row @schoolies you feel full from the carbs & sugar, so you may eat less
🛑Then you shit liquid
✅Even if it's just snacks or takeaway, or cereal or pancakes for lunch, eating as much as possible during a schoolies style binge helps endurance
3 Pillars of a safe & successful Schoolies Week celebration are:
1⃣Adequate numbers of Police
2⃣Diversionary Activities, such as entertainment
3⃣Properly funded local support services
