In my teaching experience…

Teachers who never question administrators’ decisions often get labeled as “good teachers.”

Teachers who do ask questions often get labeled as “difficult.”

Have you seen this too?

It's been the little things for Launceston Mayor Matthew Garwood. Launceston hosted the Foo Fighters on Australia Day Eve. It was bigger than Ben Hur. It was arranged because Hawks CEO Ash Klein had a contact with their touring group. When the Hawks play the city can sell out the 5000 total beds (hotels, short stays) because they bring another interstate team and they stay for 2-3 nights. It's why its been worth $20 million in economic impact a year and why they are so crestfallen its gone in 2028 @FOXFOOTY

About as bad a night there's been in the Beveridge era.

Carelessly comical opening term followed by a catalogue of injuries. Almost season-destroying.

We don’t have a classroom management problem.
We have an emotional regulation crisis that teachers are being asked to handle.
Somehow, “classroom management” has turned into:
• de-escalating trauma
• supporting anxiety and depression
• calming panic attacks
• breaking up fights
• being cursed at, threatened, and even assaulted
• being the counselor, social worker, and crisis team
And at the same time…
we remove the very things that actually help:
• recess
• movement
• art
• play
• connection
Teachers aren’t trained for this.
And they shouldn’t have to be.
Classroom management was never meant to do all of this.
It’s about:
relationships
rules
routines
responsibility
That’s it.
It was never designed to replace what families, communities, and systems failed to provide.
And until we stop offloading every societal failure onto schools,
teachers will keep drowning under expectations no human can meet.

People wonder why Bulldogs supporters are the way they are.

This.

This is why.

Images of the Gaza War Cemetery - containing 263 Australian war graves - tabled just now in the Senate Foreign Affairs, Defence & Trade Committee during my questioning.

Confirmed that its "quite possible" bodies of Australian soldiers have been disturbed. Distressingly, I'd say it's very likely looking at these pictures taken after parts of the cemetery were bulldozed by the IDF.

The Australian Government should hold the Israeli Government to account on this and ask them to fully fund the restoration.

"U2 created one of the truly great live-TV rock & roll moments of all time. U2 made this a tribute to the victims — a pained tribute to America that still felt profoundly anti-war and anti-violence."

1740s Ireland. The island is covered in cattle. Thousands of them. The grazing land is perfect for livestock.

Irish cattle are exported to England in enormous numbers. The beef feeds English cities. The wealth goes to Anglo-Irish landowners.

The Irish peasantry raising these cattle eat potatoes. Almost exclusively potatoes. They're legally forbidden from selling meat domestically at prices they can afford.

The exports are more profitable. The English market pays better than the Irish one. So the cattle leave Ireland and the Irish eat potatoes.

This continues for a century. Irish labor produces beef that Irish people can't access. The system is explicitly designed this way.

The 1740s famine kills 400,000 Irish. Not from lack of food. From lack of access. The cattle are still being exported during the famine.

The British response: "They should grow more potatoes."

The pattern repeats. 1840s, the Great Famine. Potato blight destroys the crop. One million Irish die. Another million emigrate.

During the famine, Ireland exports food to England. Cattle, pork, butter, grain. All leaving Ireland while the Irish starve.

Not because there's no food. Because the food belongs to landlords who sell to the highest bidder.

The Irish are raising cattle they'll never eat. Growing grain they'll never consume. Churning butter they'll never taste.

All for export. All for profit. All while eating potatoes exclusively.

The physical outcomes are documented. Irish peasants in 1840 average 5'2". The shortest population in Europe.
Anglo-Irish landlords average 5'8". They're eating the beef.

When Irish emigrate to America and can finally afford meat, their children grow taller. First-generation Irish-Americans average 5'6". Second-generation average 5'8".

Same genetics. Different access. Six inches of difference.

The Irish Famine wasn't a natural disaster. It was policy. The cattle were there. The butter was there. The grain was there.

It just wasn't for the Irish.

The British colonial system extracted Irish agricultural production while keeping the Irish themselves on potatoes.

And when the potatoes failed, the British didn't redirect the beef exports back to Ireland. They let a million people die while shipping food off the island.

The cruelty wasn't accidental. It was structural.

Control the food, control the people. Even if controlling it means letting them starve while surrounded by cattle.
