Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has pledged "unprecedented measures" to boost the birthrate, including doubling the budget for child-related policies, and says maintaining the educational environment is crucial.Eita's mother and Aoi's grandmother and father attended the graduation. The Yumoto area has hot spring inns on the mountains and is dotted with ski rental shops and campsites. There are also "beware of bears" signs.

Eita and Aoi were in a class of five in primary school, but were the only two to advance to junior high school.

Nice work, let's ignore all the long term benefits of population reduction (depopulation means getting rid of everyone!), including environmental, which ABC claims to care about, and just focus on the emotive negatives👏👏👏

Make uni part of a job(like a trade), gain access to long service leave by 28years old. No debt, time and money to start a family earlier and have a 2nd or 3rd by early 30’s. the needle has to shift left because the further right it goes, families will likely be two or less.

Just propaganda normalising future birth decline due to VaccineGenocide

This is not a bad news story. It’s great! Here’s hoping China and India will follow suit!

‘Completely outrageous’: Parents have a ‘right to know’ if children change gender at schoolSchools keeping what gender children identify with them from parents is “completely outrageous” as all parents “have a right to know” what their children are going through says Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan. “If your son or daughter got into a fight at school, you’d probably want to hear about it – the same would apply if they were being bullied or falling behind in class, clearly parents have a right to know what’s happening in their children's lives so they can offer support in whatever way they can,” Mr Morgan said. “Children are being allowed to change their names, their uniforms and their personal pronouns – using different toilets and changing rooms, without their parents having a clue.” That’s twisted close the schools then. They are there to educate not interfere with mind body or spirit. Keep your BS gender ideology to yourselves! Farking crazy, who the fark are these farkers 🤬 Why does Australia try so hard to be a pathetic version of the most creepy disgusting parts of America. Isn’t it time OZ stands on its own feet, be the adults in the room and reject these abominable actions being forced on our society.

Daniel Ricciardo, in Melbourne for the F1 grand prix, makes a pit stop at school to support disengaged learnersRacing driver Daniel Ricciardo is one of Australia’s highest-profile athletes, but he could've fallen through the cracks at school. He wants to make sure that doesn't happen to the next generation. That’s great news especially after Dictator Dan and Silly Sutton both ignored science and data and totally destroyed the lives of Victorian kids by banning them from attending school, seeing friends, playing sport and jailing them in their houses for 22 hours for nearly a year This is a really important program. I'm glad Ricciardo was able to drop in to see these kids. It would've been a real kick for them & something that will stick with them for a long time. You a good egg Daniel

Finding the corroboree frog's place in ancient stories and modern conservationConservationists, Indigenous elders, and dancers are working with school children to ensure both the critically endangered corroboree frog and its cultural significance lives on. Why is it that the indigenous people of NSW and VIC in these stories look so different to the indigenous people of northern Australia and remote communities? Let's stop the BS the majority of indigenous people in these stories look as caucasian as any white person. When two religions meet. Great to see the passing on of knowledge.
