Australian who really just wishes that people would care about truth, knowledge and kindness. Is that too much to ask of humanity in this world of narcissists and navel gazers?

If you can get past the paywall, this is worth a read. It's about how the narrative Aboud education in Australia has become about "choice" over equity, and about the consequences of both sides of politics pushing that angle.

Fingers crossed that nurses and midwives are allowed to start providing abortion care in New South Wales, Australia 🤞
“In many countries around the world (for example, Sweden), midwives are the primary providers of early medical abortion,”

Under the changes, nurses and midwives would be able to prescribe abortion medications, while doctors with a conscientious objection would be compelled to refer patients to other services.

Demand politicians earn your vote.
Don't accept mediocrity.
Excuses about "costs" or "need to bring the public with us" are lies.
Governments have power, and budgets are about choices & priorities.
If it's a priority, it is always affordable.
