I can't believe I have to say this: If you don't invest more into retaining current teachers instead of recruiting new teachers- the "new" teachers will eventually leave, too.

Pay rises in QLD will be up to 20%, with a "cost of living clause" to keep up with inflation. Premier Dominic Perrottet and Treasurer The Hon. Matt Kean are you listening?

My other personal view is that we can’t lose teachers after 14 years or earlier. Cardiologists, neurosurgeons and other medical specialists don’t just appear out of undergraduate uni courses. Long term expertise and experience counts in teaching.

If higher levels of accreditation is to be used as a mechanism for teacher pay it is worth noting that aitsl data shows only 1,025 (High Accomplished = 712; Lead = 313) have been certified since 2012. aitsl.edu.au/docs/default-s… That is of a workforce of >300K nationally

Chris Dawson found guilty.

This is why we need journalists. Congratulations to Hedley Thomas and #TheTeachersPet team #chrisdawson

What a day... the guilty verdict is one thing. It is another to remember that this all started with illegal and abusive treatment of a child. A child. May this never happen again.

Chris Minns This is cute and all but what about the teacher shortage? You might need some teachers in schools to enforce the ban

Let's find this boy....

#REVEALED Dominic Perrottet is spending $22m of taxpayer funds upgrading chairs in parliament. All while people can’t afford to pay their power bills.

Hey Republicans - a six year old child thought it was ok to bring a loaded gun into school in order to shoot his teacher, but do go on about how the left is “grooming” our kids won’t you.

This must be treated as a very serious offence with criminal charges. Not just as a simple, minor altercation. It's time to make an example of this type of dangerous action. Lycra and a helmet won’t stop a cyclist being seriously injured or worse when being run down by a lunatic.

Dog Poisoned by the Diffuser Saturday night I got home late and my dog didn't recognize me. Being a nanny I thought I woke him up and he was having a night terror. Sunday, he was still acting weird. I realized that I had been running my new diffuser and decided to turn it off.
