➡️Have you forgotten about their smoking parents and grandparents - the people most at risk?

Heads the private schools win, tails the public schools lose. The inequities in our education system are so profound, the funding so corrupted, we need to scrap it & start again. And this time use children’s needs as the driver not neo liberal ideology. theage.com.au/national/victo…

Yes to strict regulation but with easy access for adult smokers
