Appalling so called ‘debate’ Channel 9. The only time Climate Change mentioned was in Albo’s closing statement. Not good enough. #LeadersDebate

I know some on here were asking if any political party was talking about Covid policies. Here is a letter from the Greens @AdamBandt and @MehreenFaruqi asking Greg Hunt to take action re Covid mitigations in schools.

Guess what. Incredible surprise. School is a superspreader event. Time for some honesty about schools & COVID. Physical & mental health & healthy parents are all important & schools are not just for minding kids while parents get back to work @AHSRI_UOW smh.com.au/national/nsw/covi…

Must watch. Perrottet revealing he ignored health advice to create an alliance with Dan Andrews. It’s not about education, it’s not about children, it’s about returning life to ‘normal’, in the middle of a global health crisis. Click 👉fb.watch/bOBavfKSlF/

Perrottet admits he and the Department of Education ignored health advice when setting COVID policy for schools, in this speech at the Committee for Economic Development of Australia 25 Feb 2022. Not about education, just a false sense of confidence. youtu.be/Y0EvCBHbt0o

Would really like your response to this study @Fiona_M_Russell- as I thought your urgency to return children to face to face learning was essential to protect their mental health?
"School is important for children's mental health." yes, but in what direction? =-=-=-=-=-=-=- Thread inspired by this model of self harm emerg visits for kids in Australia over 7y. NSW, Aus has 4 spaced school terms, associated with large increases (40-88%) in self-harm./1
