Absolute disgrace. Nothing but a money laundering operation.

Nothing more then money laundering. This needs to be stop and the money returned to the people

I can't listen to this bloke's dribble. I certainly admire you Senator Malcolm Roberts for your patience & manners with these deceived ones.

Stop this ridiculous wasting and laundering of our taxpayers monies now! We were never asked whether we, the people of Australia agreed to this utter nonsense. Australians are sleeping in tents for heaven’s sake, enough!

Money laundering on an epic scale.

He seems a bit slow to me...

This has to stop . We have to stand united and do something

There has to be ACCOUNTABILITY 😡

This is a new level of the definition of fat cats. Royal Commission into this monstrosity they call CEFC, seriously how stupid do they think the general public is that pay for this fallacy.

Another buzzword salad from this usless beurocratic spindoctor.

full of waffle.Could not answer a direct question.Another tax funded scam and needs to be shut down

Thanks for your input and hard work, and letting us know what is going on with these thieves

Snouts in the trough

We are being absolutely fleeced

Ne er heard of him

Sounds more like inter "Government" money laundering.

Who is the Club of Rome and Maurice Strong?

The big book of BS... what volume are we up to now.... 6, 7?

It would be good to check their offshore bank accounts

I'm sick of politicians not following the 1901 constitution

Bonus for what? wasting our money on ideology

Wake up everyone This is taxpayer money that pays these clowns WTF 537 million $$$$ 7.3 billion $$$$

Omfg it's just a big rotten laundry ffs

To spend trillions when we contribute around one percent to the “problem”  defies human logic

What a f**cking joke. The greatest Ponzi scheme ever

I took my high schooler out as a direct result of her school trying to push gender ideology onto her. Best thing I ever did.

Hardly surprising that parents want to home school. Especially with all the crap being taught today. Education needs to get back to the basics.

We homeschool and it's awesome. Much more flexibility.

Admission that they’re too woke and it doesn’t work, is the first thing that should happen. You’re right Mr Senator.

We all know the problems exist. Parents are not in control nor do they play a part in their children's lives in this country. It's all extremists and terrorists running the show under a "democracy".

I remember all those people saying "if you home school your kids they will become wierdos". Now we have kids in public schools who identify as cats. I can totally understand why some parents home school their kids.

I know alot of home schooled children since 2020 they are so clever and well adjusted. Nothing like the brain dead , brainwashed and uneducated children from schools. They have discipline and respect for others which is no longer taught in schools.

Great work asking the question if the curriculum may have something to do with the home schooling increase. The curriculum seems to be left out of discussions or ignored when there is issues with education. You also should include the School refusal children numbers and ask the very same question. Is it the curriculum causing some of the increasing school refusal numbers. There is an estimate floating around that up to 5% of Australian children maybe suffering from school refusal. School refusal is something that is very poorly understood in Australia. I believe there maybe a precedent which suggests school refusal may have some association with education reforms.(this includes the curriculum). Japan has had problems with school refusal since about the 1980's. Some people suggest that the Japanese Education reforms back in the 80's and 90's may have triggered the school refusal phenomenon. School refusal numbers started to increase in Japan after these education reforms. Japan call school refusal “futoko” now. It was called tokokyohi' previously. Last fairly recent figure I've seen, Japan had about 200 000 children suffering from school refusal and the numbers are still on an increasing trend.

So, can we get back to Reading, Writing and Arithmetic by freeing up space in the curriculum with the removal of the woke nonsense? Parents (both) are working longer hours and harder than ever to make ends meet during a cost of living and housing crisis, which limits time spent assisting their children with education. They can't afford tutoring either by and large. Youth are being sabotaged by the education system.

I would home school if my kids started now. The education system is a disgrace. I would do a lot more things differently if I had the chance.

A teacher in my daughter's grade 2 class (2012) said to the students he could not control, "I don't care if you learn or not, I will still get paid at the end of the day!" Children naturally want to learn, but the way the system is set up, it is simply not conducive to maximising students' potential.

Well if you'd like to know why ..you're welcome to call a few of us older teachers

One of the reasons we pulled ours out of the public system

Intentionally Destroying our Childrens education 🤔 Pure malfeasance and nonfeasance! malfeasance: the doing of a wrongful or illegal act, esp by a public official nonfeasance: a failure to act when under an obligation to do so

As a proud ex military member, our country is becoming a disgrace. We are more focused on woke ideology and spend too much time pleasing the people at the top. Just need to get the best out of our children, without all the political bullshit. They don’t need to hear welcome to country before every class.

Home Education needs more support. Tax breaks for families home educating etc.

We hone schooled our five to ensure they were not indoctrinated with Darwinism and sex. They have nine degrees and three post-graduate professional diplomas between them, and have stood firm against Wokeolatry.

My son NEVER wanted to be in the matrix & wanted to be home-schooled. My two biggest regrets as a mother trusting Gvt with Big Pharma till he was age two & did NOT home-school.

Gee i wonder why

how may of the people in the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) are parents with school age children like myself!?!? I'd suggest none, and if there are i posit that they are biased.

They have cat litter tray in the bathroom at my child’s school here in Qld

We've known it for a long time Mal.

Who is behind this dumbing down and harming of Australias children? The people on the committee should be sacked asap. Useless bureaucrats. ** BTW a friend of mine witnessed Richard Marles accepting free coffees from a nearby Cafe. The owner would not charge him. How crazy when he earns so much. Argghh

Listen to all the waffle, they don`t care.

Downward movements has occurred since 2015
