Rally to save TAFE

The need to campaign to save TAFE grows more urgent daily.

Since the Baillieu Government cut a savage $300 million from the TAFE sector, hundreds of teachers and support staff have been sacked, campuses are facing closure, courses have been shut down and fees have been massively increased for thousands of students.

We need to show this government how much Victorians care about the public TAFE system, which changes the lives of so many students every day.

Conquest & colonization of a rich, diverse human population structure. 500 years ago, two very different forms of agriculture separated by continents, one Livestock-based devastating land & inland waters, the other Land-based allowing space, wilderness & animals to roam free. Both continents had around 100 million people but the latter was essentially de-populated & totally transformed in a startling story of invasion, colonization & deadly disease.
