Don’t listen to religious extremist and warmonger Hegseth and his sycophantic mate Marles who claims “shared values” with this obnoxious and dangerous fool. Military experts, politicians, diplomats peace activists, unions, faith groups all oppose the madness that is AUKUS.

AUKUS is all about double-speak. War is peace. Subservience to the US is ‘sovereignty’. Worst employment program in history = ‘jobs’. All for ensuring Australia is a piece of military real estate for the US empire. abc.net.au/news/2026-08-01/u…

Clunkers from Trump and for the future Australia is meant to rely on Britain to deliver the SSN AUKUS boats. But the Brits can’t even keep their own fleet in the water. Ridiculous. Dump AUKUS now dailymail.com/news/article-1…

One year of global military spending is more than enough to fund quality public education for every child out of school. But teachers are forced to accept overcrowded classrooms, unpaid overtime, frozen wages, and unsafe working conditions. We need to #GoPublic and #FundEducation

A new report reveals a deep and growing divide in school infrastructure funding, with private schools spending billions on capital infrastructure while public schools are left behind, with no ongoing Commonwealth capital funding since 2017. Read more: bit.ly/4kPWvKL

The Public Education Peloton team has once again smashed the Sydney to Wollongong MS Gong Ride! Members have been riding and raising awareness for MS since 2010 - and, of course, for public education.

Australia can’t afford to subsidise the Trump war machine - politically, financially or morally. Our future is in Asia, not against it.

Peace is, and always will be, union business. Federation invites members and friends to join the call for peace and justice. Look for the Federation flags.

The best investment is one that changes lives. With full funding directed where it counts, public schools can give every child the opportunity to thrive.

“Australia's success as a diverse nation rests not only on migrants' resilience, but on strong, universal public institutions that anchor belonging beyond rhetoric. These are the practical foundations of inclusion.” My contribution published in today’s Herald and Age newspapers.
