The Greens say Peter Dutton’s threats to withhold money from public education if teachers don’t deliver his fantasy right-wing curriculum is an idea pulled straight from the pages of Trump’s Project 2025 playbook. Comments attributable to Greens spokesperson on Primary and Secondary Education, Senator Penny Allman-Payne: “Dutton is reading from Trump’s Project 2025 playbook, fantasising about teachers robotically delivering a strictly controlled right-wing curriculum that indoctrinates our kids on the wonders of neoliberalism and European colonialism, and the evils of collective action and diversity. “The Liberals are ideologically opposed to public education, because they’re terrified that our kids might be exposed to ideas that don’t conform to their broken world view. “Kids in Australia deserve a world-class, free public education, not Peter Dutton standing at the whiteboard telling them what they can and can’t learn. “In seats like Brisbane and Ryan, the only thing standing in the way of a Dutton majority are local Greens MPs. This election, a vote for the Greens is a vote to keep Dutton out and make Labor act.” |
