AustralianLabor billshortenmp State issue. They should he managing their money better. Less administration more delivery

AustralianLabor billshortenmp WTH...this was ALWAYS part 9f our education when I went to school, every year we did swimming lessons for a week, even had to learn to swim with clothes on...what happened?

AustralianLabor billshortenmp Confronting our fears Addressing the stereotypes Dispelling the myths. 🎬The journey begins here.... A Film Called Blacks Can’t Swim Watch the Official Trailer Register for your private screening

GCobber99 AustralianLabor billshortenmp As an Austswim Instructor I am fully supportive of this policy. So many children are exposed to water that can't even do a survival stroke. Through this measure we can actively prevent drownings. eachchildisworthit

AustralianLabor billshortenmp Tourist's die teach them too

AustralianLabor billshortenmp Under labor it was cut from schools a few decades ago

AustralianLabor billshortenmp Hasn't this been happening for 30 years? Certainly was the case when I was in school.

AustralianLabor billshortenmp What about the toddlers & overseas visitors Sick of political point scoring & throwing money that belongs to tax payers Punishing the older generation & bowing to the gullible young AustralianLabor how about focusing on important issues Ignore voters in regional areas

AustralianLabor billshortenmp Another way for labor to steal tax dollars without having to have anything to show in return for it. And where does the money go? There are never any checks and balances. International aid is even worse, not to mention UN and clinton foundation donations.

AustralianLabor billshortenmp When I was a kid we did have school based swimming programs. That was quite some time ago though. Back when you got a small bottle of milk at first recess.....

Shorten_Suite AustralianLabor billshortenmp They do now dopey

AustralianLabor billshortenmp Don’t schools go to the pool anymore? Full of 🐂💩.

AustralianLabor billshortenmp When I grew up parents trained kids, but schools had a swim carnival for ALL students once or twice a year, no exception. It is sad we rely on the federales, were are the state governments collecting fees for pool fencing checks. That money should be used for training kids.

AustralianLabor billshortenmp Load of krap

AustralianLabor billshortenmp State Govt fund State/public schools swimming - inconvenient fact. Why is Shorten covering up for States failures on swimming responsibility.

AustralianLabor billshortenmp It’s the tourists who drown. A lot of Indian men who don’t know how to swim. Maybe an ad on aeroplanes informing foreign visitors to be aware and safe around water would help.

AustralianLabor billshortenmp Thank goodness, should be parents responsibility...but this is wonderful
