Angry TAFE teachers and students attended a rally today to protest the massive cuts to TAFE vocational education and training in the Victorian Budget handed down on May 1, 2012. The implications of massive defunding is a softening up of the public TAFE institutes for privatisation. The budget cuts will mean substantial redundancies of teachers, especially in smaller regional TAFE institutes, a major increase in course fees, and loss of subsidiary student services such as study skills assistance, library services and counselling.

TAFE sector Privatisation by stealth - funding slashed by Baillieu Government in Victorian Budget

Anonymous — Tue, 01 May 2012 09:22:31 +0000

The National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) on May Day, attacked Premier Ted Baillieu and the Victorian Government over its budget cuts to TAFE education announced in the Victorian budget today, calling them another significant step in the dismantling of the state’s public vocational education and training system and privatising the sector by stealth. The cuts to the public TAFE institutions reduce public funding by 22 per cent from the start of 2013.

A Preston couple, Chris and Susan Field, are among a growing number of home owners objecting to bank fraud and injustice in the courts.
In late December the Fields were the lead story on both A Current Affair and Today Tonight at the same time. They have already been EVICTED from their home, BUT THEY WENT BACK IN a week later and are still living in their own home.
Serena Moeau was also featured on the Current Affair story, about her four year battle against the bank that wants her home.
