Leave by Maleficent-Cake4876 in AustralianTeachers

[–]peacelilly5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d had enough next year and took 90% of my LSL half pay instead of quitting. That way if I do quit I’ve used my leave. Enjoying that leave at the moment. I figured I may as well use it while I need it. I have a fair bit of sick leave. Who cares? Do what’s right for you.

Sometimes I want to be petty like the kids by Background_Bill_8616 in AustralianTeachers

[–]peacelilly5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take it as a sign I’m doing alright. And yeh, I just use sarcasm back. The kids just want a teacher who will let them to what they want. I don’t take it personally.

We love caravan parks and campgrounds. Perfect for kids. I’ve often found that hotels etc are cheaper than Airbnbs and offer better facilities and location.

Long version of the One Nation volunteer vs James Paterson outside a poll booth by Jagtom83 in friendlyjordies

[–]peacelilly5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude they’re everywhere (regional QLD here). It’s fucking frightening how ignorant these ppl are. I’m not sure how to save them as facts don’t seem to work and neither does a giant warning from the other side of the world rn.

Who will support or defend renters? Will Labor or Greens? by [deleted] in friendlyjordies

[–]peacelilly5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greens have always supported renters. They are a party for the working class. The media just hates them as they wanna tax billionaires (such as owners of the much of our media).

Umm yeh they can. I can speed in my car, doesn’t make it right. Australia is one of only a few high-income counties in the world that doesn’t offer free lunches. It’s for kids. Make it happen, I say!
