It was some New Age NZ woman who destroyed reading education in the Anglosphere despite her anti-phonics method having been disproven in a study at the time.

The division TheGuardian talks disingenuously about is actually this woo vs evidence based science.

Surprisingly, NSW outsmarted Victoria on this...

In 2015, a report from the New South Wales Department of Education,[4] concluded that Reading Recovery was largely ineffective, and should not be used for most children.[5] As a result, in 2016, Reading Recovery lost its "mandated status" as part of the curriculum in NSW's more than 900 public schools, although individual schools may still opt to use it.[6] A further consequence of this shift in policy is that, in 2017, the NSW Department of Education initiated a hiring program to recruit dozens of new literacy and numeracy experts to support teachers in "evidence-based professional learning", according to NSW Minister for Education, Rob Stokes.

Reading is passé. It is all A1 now.

Gazan civilians are not being "targeted". It is Hamas and Hezbollah who are intent on genocide. I mean they actual say it - why not believe them?

If Israel is intent on genocide they aren't very good at it. They could have wiped out ⅔ of Gazans in the first week after October 7 but chose not to. Meanwhile Hamas and Hezbollah to this day call for ridding the Levant of all Jews but Cannot.

Trump's talk of "evicting" Gazans to Libya is disturbing. That would be ethnic cleansing.

Why is the headline mentioning Abbott? How is he relevant?

It should say "with Opposition leader support". Am impressed with his stance.

Marketing works. Apparently there is a whole industry dedicated to it.

I experienced similar as a paying customer there.

As explained by Brian Eno in this 3 minute video.
