Time to come clean, Scott Morrison, on the hidden agenda – » The Australian Independent Media Network

people are not taught critical thinking. They accept authority without question and we have government policies which have been progressively removing our rights as individuals on the pretence of protecting us from terrorism!

Personally I would rank Peter Dutton high up on my list of terrorists and trouble stirrers!

Do you honestly support this?

Wake up, open up your mind, oppose the progress towards a total loss of our democracy – too much has already been taken away from us!

CLIMATE CHANGE IS A REALITY.

WE ARE UNLIKELY TO REVERSE IT BUT WE DO HAVE A FLEETING CHANCE TO SLOW IT IN ITS TRACKS!

I care deeply for the future of our young people – I have 3 great grandchildren – and that obliges me to fight for them to have a prospect of a viable life.

Maths illiteracy has led to Trump and Brexit: Eddie Woo

Why Climate Change Deniers are thick as brocks

“We’ve just had major election results that stem directly from mathematical illiteracy, because people don’t have the mathematical wherewithal to understand the statistics they’re being fed,” Mr Woo said.

“They look at them and say, ‘Well OK, sure, I don’t know any better.’ The fact that climate change denial can survive has a direct causal relationship with mathematical illiteracy.”

Mr Woo was a top 10 finalist for this year’s $1 million Global Teacher Prize, which was awarded to British arts and textiles teacher Andria Zafirakou in Dubai on Sunday.
