Australia's Beloved Koalas Under Threat

To become a member of The Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) I must:

• Have completed study comparable to at least a 4 year full-time tertiary level qualification (or the part-time equivalent) in Australia;
• Have completed at least 1 year of full-time (or part-time equivalent) tertiary level pre-service professional teaching studies related to your nominated teaching occupation included in your studies. Appropriate studies include theoretical and practical subjects with a clear relation to initial teacher education;
• Have completed at least 6 weeks (30 days) of supervised teaching practice related to your nominated teaching occupation. You must include evidence of this with your application;
• Be currently qualified and/or licensed to teach in the country where you obtained your qualifications or where you are currently teaching. You must provide written evidence from an appropriate official teacher licensing or employment authority from the country where you obtained your teaching qualifications or from the country where you are currently teaching;

so basically I need an Aussie teaching degree (taking 4 years and costing around AU$20,000 a year, excellent) to be relevant as I don’t have any of that teaching studies stuff, and TEFL doesn’t qualify me for a visa

why the fuck don’t I have any Australian relatives

this is ridiculous

TERRIBLE TRUTHS - Don Juan

Terrible Truths are a three piece band from Adelaide. Don Juan is taken from the S/T 7” and split 7” with Hissey Miyake, both yet to be released.

Acá traigo una canción de esta banda de Adelaida, Australia llamada Terrible Truths. Con un sonido muy representativo de su lugar de origen, con guitarras ritmicas muy reverberadas, algunos riffs muy surf por ahí acompañando, y voces femeninas que dan ese toque sutil pero con personalidad, que me acuerdan de bandas como Elástica. Este track se incluirá en dos 7”, de los cuales uno será compartido con Hissey Miyake, fecha aún por confirmar.
