If Dutton gets in, the transfer of wealth from working class people to the rich will accelerate.
If an ALP minority government gets in, we can push em in the right direction. SO LONG as we have strong unions on the ground in our workplaces and strong community organisations.

Think for yourself, question authority and power. Understand the broader economic, political and social structures of that power (with all the contradictions, complexities and nuances).
Learn how to organise to challenge that power of the few to build power for the many.

Yoon is notoriously anti-union and has tried to impose a more authoritarian regime since he came to power in 2022 (with a 0.8% margin by the way).

Unions are briefly touched upon in the curriculum. However, I doubt the powers at be would want us to learn the lessons of the oast struggles and apply them today. It's like saying, "Know about Martin Luther King, but don't behave like him."

There has been a 'dealignment' of the working class due to the neoliberalism of the Democrats and the populism of the Republicans.
Hopefully organised Labor builds working class independence.
Unions have done it before and they can do it again.

@teachersfed.bsky.social members at SSC Balmain finally recieved a response from @jasonclaremp.bsky.social regarding SRS funding.
Still denying it, still allowing for further segregation in society and chipping away at a fundamental democratic institution (public education).
