Jacinda Ardern has sat down with school students to hear their concerns on climate change, but has refused to endorse them missing school over the issue.
Thousands of New Zealanders plan to skip school on Friday to protest climate change as part of the School Strike 4 Climate campaign. Students from more than 90 countries are expected to take part in the global campaign.
darrencurtis_ Ah shut up. NERRRRDDDDS!
darrencurtis_ No!!!!!!!! The government needs to be held responsible. That is why the students are rallying because no one is listening and drastic measures are taken!!!
darrencurtis_ since when did we agree to have schools teach our children to be activist? I didn't see activism as part of the curriculum, keep the children in school, want them to know about the climate, teach them meteorology and history so they have the knowledge to make up their own mind
darrencurtis_ Truancy won’t solve climate change
darrencurtis_ Schools put in so much effort 2 give kids the information & education 2 get them 2 think 4 themselves so why r RWNJ sooooo afraid of kids who r actively fightin 4 their futures is it because they won't tow the RWNJ party line & r standin up & demandin action on climate change
darrencurtis_ Just one of these kids have far more intelligence & care far more for fellow human beings than everyone at combined. auspol
darrencurtis_ Piss off & leave the kids alone, they're thinking more about & doing more for people & lives than any of you political creeps.
darrencurtis_ Let the indoctrinated brainwashed sheep have their herd walk. They’re just proving the social engineering in the education system that’s been going on since the 70s has come home to roost! It will achieve nothing because children can’t vote!
darrencurtis_ FO
darrencurtis_ Where are our elected representatives at the moment? Oh, right, we’re paying them but they’re not at work - they’re running around pleading with us to vote for them. auspol
darrencurtis_ Please ask why AnnSudmalus wagged parliament for a $50k junket. Instead of turning up to her day job. How many junkets has Senator_CFW shouted herself instead of slaving away in an un airconditioned parliament.
darrencurtis_ And don’t forget the teachers enabling this action, and some going. Are the police looking at truancy? Are the teachers being paid. Why didn’t tell do it out of school or weekend? The next stage of new hitler youth will be on the streets this Friday.
darrencurtis_ Or we could leave them in a sweatbox...sorry classroom in 45 heat but.....theres a stadium...there's politicians junkets....
darrencurtis_ Good to see you back on the telly darrencurtis_!
darrencurtis_ Labor & Greedy scoundrels using children to further their cause for G/Warming Taxpayer Renewable Money that burdens our economy & our household expenses.Labor to build CFMEU w/- Turbines . Using our Kids frontline like days of old Communist China or old Comunist Russia!Shame on U
darrencurtis_ Loopy leftwingers
darrencurtis_ Why are conservatives so terrified & dismissive of young people who have informed opinions about the future of a world that they will inhabit when we older generations are dead & gone, who care passionately about the future, & who are actually taking action to salvage it?
darrencurtis_ retract funding for that day
darrencurtis_ Sorry Darren, what was that ...👂

Air monitoring pledge after dust up over North Sydney smokestacksSmokestacks for the proposed Western Harbour Tunnel will spew exhaust fumes within hundreds of metres of schools, parks and a pre-school. MSMWatchdog2013 carriefellner A real plus for the real estate market no doubt. carriefellner JakeSaulwick AndrewConstance NthSydCouncil RMS NSW_EPA Sydney 's holy cows are its cars. Everything, including the health of its residents is sacrificed on its altar of car addiction and absence of proper transport planning to replace car traffic by public transport carriefellner Lots of talk about where smokestacks will be and who will monitor the air 'quality' - NO talk about WHAT will be done if the air 'quality' is TOXIC. Will traffic numbers be limited? Will specific vehicles with unacceptable emissions be barred?

Political parties ‘lying’ about when election promises will be realised: Murray | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray says in ‘a trick being used way too often’, political parties are ‘lying’ about when election promises will come true. \n\nNew South Wales Labor leader Michael Daley announced on Monday his promise to employ 5000 additional school teachers, but Mr Murray says he did not emphasise the completion date of year 2035. \n Disgusting ALP employing more teachers to inject disgusting socialist ideals into YOUR kids!!! They spend so much time teaching poison that with all the extra personnel student grades still go down!! By the time this gets implemented the switched on kids won’t be at school, they’ll be online, while the remaining functionally illiterate snowflakes will be indulged by leftie groupthink progressives in the finer arts of welfare dependence and virtue signalling. What is Paul Murray’s complaint? Saying they won’t be all provided at once is not a complaint. What is the issue with the policy? Do the Liberal party have a better policy? No.

One in three Australian adults suffers with low literacy skills | Sky News AustraliaMore than one in three Australian adults has literacy skills so low they are vulnerable to unemployment and social exclusion, according to new figures. \n\nThe problem stems from students falling through the cracks at school, with one in seven failing to reach baseline literacy standards by age 15. \n\nTerri Martin from Dymocks Children’s Charities says adults often succumb to literacy problems if they do not have access to good quality books when they are young. \n\nShe says ‘you don’t actually have to go far from inner city areas to find children with literacy challenges, so there’s a widespread problem’. \n\nBy providing brand new books to children and schools across the country, she says Dymocks Kids Charities is trying to reduce those statistics. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n dccaustralia Here’s a crazy idea 💡Use all the time and money wasted on gender fluidity lessons and aboriginal awareness lessons on books and reading!! dccaustralia Much of the material taught in the English curriculum's about minority issues, virtue seeking stories, slavery, what its like to be abused by whites, anti church, feminist diatribes laced with left wing progressive ideals. Thankfully, Orwell, Goldman & other classics are taught. dccaustralia Give em electronic readers & cease trying to make parents shell out money to grubby censorious book sellers.
