While Australian military spending goes through the roof, 98% of Australian public schools are chronically underfunded #Shame

Great investigation from Eve Cogan Stephanie Tran in Declassified Australia + glad to see ref to our wins in the primary/secondary sphere. Militarisation of education begins with arms industry sponsorship of #STEMeducation programs like NYSF - 40yrs in 2024! FIRSTAus etc.

Weapons companies profiting from human suffering in #Palestine #WestPapua #Yemen and beyond use their p/ships with Australian STEM education programs to sanitise their corporate image and normalise the business of war. Take action: qrau.co/AkWzrf
