Education Minister annihilates Liberal Party for ‘vanilla’ stance on multiculturalism
Education Minister Jason Clare criticised the Liberal Party’s reluctance to embrace multiculturalism, arguing they now avoid even saying the word due to pressure from parties like One Nation. “We are a multicultural country … whether you like it or not," Mr Clare told Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell. “The sad part about this, I reckon, is … The Liberal Party are responsible for getting rid of the white Australia policy; now they are so spooked by One Nation that they can't even say the word multiculturalism. The fact that the Liberal Party, with all of that record that they should be proud of, that they can't even say the word multiculturalism, reeks of desperation. “The Libs, the Nats and One Nation, they are like the Neapolitan ice cream of Australian politics; the problem is they all want to be vanilla.”

[Kim Seong-kon] When education and politics fail us
Education and politics are closely intertwined, as the failure of education ultimately results in the failure of politics. Today, many of us are deeply disappointed by both our education system and our political climate. Yet despite this widespread dissatisfaction, neither seems to change. American poet Robert Frost once said, “Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.” If this is true, we must admit that our education system has fa
