This is what it took for these teen Afghan, Tibetan and Congolese migrants to feel comfortable with their new lives in regional Australia.

At just eight years of age, Olivier would find himself starting a new life on a different continent, in another hemisphere entirely, firstly in north-eastern Queensland.

"I thought I would be bullied or something, or be the only guy sitting alone at lunch because my English wasn't very good," he says. Even though the safe haven they each once dreamed of, and which became reality in regional Australia, has not come without difficulty.So with more of those who make it to these shores set to — and already — settling in regional Australia, how can we help them feel they belong, as Olivier and Rahila now do?Both say having a sense of community has made regional Australia home, as opposed to merely a safe place to live.

Qantas making new cuts to flying scheduleQantas is making new cuts to its flying schedule beyond those announced last week after Australia and New Zealand imposed tighter travel limits due to the coronavirus pandemic. Nice of them to do this now....2 weeks too late. No doubt raking in millions over the last 2 weeks from “change fee’s” that all other airlines around the world compassionately waived to their citizens. Not good enough if you booked last year then credit will expire if this doesn’t resolve within 6 months.......better to allow refund or longer credit !! Not true, voucher option is not available on the website and no way to get in contact with a representative....

Australians face tough new restrictions amid COVID-19 crisis | Sky News AustraliaAustralians are being warned to brace for tough new restrictions on movement as the government ramps up its fight to slow the spread of COVID-19. \n\nAustralia's death toll has risen to five after two people died in New South Wales overnight. \n\nThere are now more than 250 cases of coronavirus in Australia. \n\nThe government encouraged people to practice social distancing measures, has banned gatherings of more than 500 people and is considering restrictions on visits to aged care facilities. \n\nSpeaking to Sky News on Monday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the government would make more decisions after health officials handed down further advice on Tuesday. \n\n“People can expect to see a fairly significant restriction on visitation to people on nursing homes,” he said. \n\n“No one measure is going to be the knockout blow to the coronavirus, that’s just not how this works.\n\n“All of the measures are relative and when they work together it lowers the overall risk.” Is the NRL being warned?

Factor in those costs and see what the final bill is. The issue is not that there are private schools it is that the govt wants to put as little money into public ed as it can. building more schools costs money. JordsBaker why are taxpayer $'s going to private schools anyway, shouldn't they be funding themselves as they are a private enterprise.
