Invest in Research and society wins
19 July 2016
Investment in Research helps create a more equitable society. Government investment in research here is slipping.
Duncan Ivison suggests 3 ways to remedy it:
1) Collaboration in policy and research
Develop a bipartisan approach and include all the academic disciplines
2) Release existing research funds
There are funds sitting in the Education Infrastructure Fund (EIF), release them. And also allow for funding for research materials and infrastructure
3) Establish committee of experts to guide strategic investment in infrastructure
To give a long term vision of where investment should be made

Bastille Day Today
14 July 2016
On July 14, 1789, troops stormed the Bastille - a pivotal event at the beginning of the French Revolution and their independence from monarchy.
It gives pause for thought that The First Fleet arrived here in January 1788. One year earlier than the storming of the Bastille.
The French have been independant ( more or less) from the start of our colonisation!

Liberals have squeezed back in - what about looking after Early Childcare workers?
11 July 2016
Let's see what happens with the Government arts and education policies, post election.
One area, that of the Early Childhood workforce, was only addressed by Labour, pre-election. It's of great concern that a recent survey of 1200 early educators across Australia found 1 in 5 were planning to leave the profession.
Reasons can be summarised as low pay (it's a 94% female dominated sector), feeling undervalued and increasing time on administrative tasks.
Early childhood experience should be a great foundation for learning. Let's start appropriately valuing those who do this important work.

Impressions from the Road From Australia Playhouse
10 July 2016
What it's like to be an actor in an in-school touring company.
By Daniel Hickie, Australia Playhouse
I’m touring with Australia Playhouse. We’re doing two shows. #TheFairestOfThemAll in primary schools and Shakespeare: As You Write It in secondary schools. But sometimes, its seems like we’re doing other tours as well.
A national tour of high fives, for example. A national tour of extravagant in-show countdowns. A national tour of waving, of laughing, of learning names, writing down names, remembering names, only to forget the names learnt with the sunrise of a new week.
