The NSW Coalition have had ten years to develop a comprehensive education workforce plan. Instead, they released a thirteen page brochure with around five pages of text. It's not good enough.

The Minister's brochure doesn't address the issue of uncompetitive teaching salaries, inadequate lesson preparation time, or the need for additional resources to help students with special needs. Staff working conditions are student learning conditions. We need to give teachers a fair pay rise.

How have Scandinavian countries maintained their commitments to social welfare, gender equality, and bold action on climate change while other countries have lagged behind?

On Monday night Auburn Labor and Anthony D'Adam MLC hosted a forum with Shadow Minister for Climate Change & Energy Chris Bowen MP and Professor Andrew Scott. At the forum we discussed a book Professor Scott co-edited entitled: "Nordic Edge: Policy Possibilities for Australia".

We owe a big thank you to local Labor activist Caroline Staples for helping to bring this event together. You can check out a video of the forum including a Q&A with branch members here. You can also check out Anthony D'Adam's review of the book using the link in the comments.

Morrison has really gone beyond the pale with his climate inaction when the heir to the British throne goes beyond usual Palace protocols to call upon Australia's Prime Minister to just front up and attend the Glasgow climate summit, COP26.

The future king said it would be a “disaster” if next month’s COP26 summit collapsed, and appeared taken aback when told Morrison still did not know whether he would go.
