Occupy Melbourne: Protest cuts to education.

Friday, December 9, 2011 - 10:00

Due to continuing poor weather the weekend Teddy Bears picnic has been postponed until next year. We are hoping though that everyone can join the Occupy Melbourne Kids and Carers Committee Dare To Share Teddy Bears Protest against cuts to education.

Come rain, hail or shine we will meet at 10am in Treasury Gardens and then proceed with an action/stunt to be revealed on the day.

Some food and activities will be provided, but please bring along more. Don’t forget to bring your teddy bear! If all the little teddies get together then we can take on Big Bad Ted and Julia. Over the past year there have been multiple attacks on education. These have included the cuts of $48 million to VCAL and $270 million to TAFE, the failure of the government to invest the money needed to maintain and repair our ailing schools, cuts to occasional childcare and the government's refusal to maintain education worker's pay at inflation.
