The funding will provide a $319.50 weekly payment to around 68,000 higher education students, and over 5,000 VET students.

Migration into Australia grew by 60 percent, says Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil.

The King’s School’s headmaster alleged that independent schools for boys had become the target of the government and the media in recent years.

New parents will gradually gain access to an additional two weeks of paid leave each year until the 26-week mark is reached in 2026.

Year after year, NAPLAN results are proof that something is going very wrong in our schools.
