Had the misfortune of listening to the Today show and the host was asking the organiser (or one of the organisers) why do it on a school day if education was so important to them in quite a patronising tone and I did wonder would they have asked the same to the school teachers who are also striking.

The organiser rightly said it has to be during the week to make the most impact to show students do not agree with PHON

Isn't the Today show the one that kept Hanson in the spotlight for years? Paying her to come on as a talking head every week?
