Hi neighbours,
Do you think primary teachers and principals should be striking? Thousands of teachers have taken industrial action on Wednesday, with dozens of rallies planned around the country.

Do you think primary teachers and principals should be striking? Thousands of teachers have taken industrial action on Wednesday, with dozens of rallies planned around the country. They aim to gain attention for better pay, conditions and incentives to attract new teachers. Although about 30,000 people in the profession are involved in the strike, not everyone agrees with it.
So, what are your thoughts on the strike? Do you think teachers deserve better pay? Or should they have stayed around the negotiating table for longer? Are you a teacher or parent with views on the topic? Let us know in the replies!

The man was claiming to be there to clean our house. His nationality is Indian, he wasn't dressed as a cleaner and his vehicle was an old Subaru. Apparently he advised us that we left a key for him in our letterbox to clean our house(which we didn't). We obviously didn't hire a cleaner and the whole scenario screamed of this guy being dodgy! Be aware of people hanging around your neighbourhood and going house to house.
