Queensland Education Minister Di Farmer announced on Monday that the proposed amendments to Student Disciplinary Absences (SDAs) and home-schooling regulation in Labor’s Education (General Provisions) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024 (EGPA Bill) would be withdrawn and not progressed ‘at this time’.
Nick Dametto staunch
supporter of home schooling
The announcement was welcome news to the home-schooling community and teachers across the state who lobbied strongly to oppose the EGPA Bill.
Hinchinbrook MP Nick Dametto, a staunch supporter for home educators and teachers throughout the course of EGPA Bill expressed his surprise at the Minister’s announcement and his elation for those who opposed the changes and had worked hard to ensure that their voices were heard.
“From the first time I read the EGPA Bill I noticed critical flaws and potentially adverse effects on the
Queensland education system which included mainstream and home education,” Mr Dametto said.
“As we continued through the committee process, it became very clear that consultation leading to the
drafting of this bill had not been done with those it affected most. I am not sure who had the department or Labor’s ear when drafting this legislation, but their agendas were clear but wildly misguided.
“The decision to withdraw those controversial provisions relating to SDAs and home schooling is a
demonstration of democracy at work. People power and lobbying from those who the EGPA Bill stood to
directly impact, applied the required pressure for the Minister to stand up, take notice and make positive
changes to the proposed legislation.
“We are told a Home School Advisory Group will be established and a review of the Home Education Unit
within the Department of Education will be undertaken. Without being too negative, to me these are really reactionary measures when they should have been proactive steps taken prior to the drafting of the EGPA Bill.
“More needs to be done when it comes to SDAs. The Government needs to speak to schools, teachers and principals about what resourcing and tools would be beneficial to them to prevent student suspensions escalating in the first place.
“Should the Government engage in meaningful industry consultation before redrafting these provisions they may also come to realise that very little change is necessary, particularly in the home-schooling space. The children I have encountered in recent months who are being schooled at home seem to be progressing in leaps and bounds when it comes to their education.”
It seems like the Queensland Education Minister, Di Farmer, has decided to withdraw the proposed amendments to Student Disciplinary Absences and home-schooling regulations for now. This decision reflects a pause in progressing the changes outlined in the Education (General Provisions) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024.

Hmm….if they can eradicate home schooling, they can force al kids to schools then enforce school jab attendance mandates and continue the brainwashing by the alphabet crowd and other nonsense.
My daughter decided govt y11&12 was the go for some weird reason, we went to parent teacher night and we were confronted with the place being absolutely awash with every conceivable multicoloured flag and associated nonsense…..and a “students attending school with a baby” support system”…..yep…..
But they shoved the woke so hard my daughter told them to get lost. Yay!
The educators no doubt are dedicated and driven, full marks for that. But the woke seeping out of the place was horrific. If there was any doubt they want to brainwash and own your kids morals, look no further than gumint “education”.
Please – homeschool or private or Christian ( in our case ) , but NEVER EVER State education – it appears to be just pure marxist indoctrination.
Never, ever, again.

Fancy Mothers and Fathers still thinking they are entitled to defy Agenda 2030 and exercise any rights with respect to raising their kids.
Get with the times, Mums and Dads, you have nothing to say anymore. Just manufacture the goods and hand them over on demand.
Winning 💥
Guys, don’t think this isn’t to their advantage and choice at this point in time. Teacher shortage is exacberated by the mandated and now adverse events related to the injections. Class sizes are out of control due to shortage. They know they can’t cope with more kids at this point
Bloody ridiculous! Taking our power away again! It won’t work the people of Australia have had enough. Let’s hit them where it hurts join the nationalstrikeaustralia.org – we’re now on strike until all government agencies are gone starting with learning how to avoid paying rates, fines and many other unlawful money grabbing laws. They are all corporations with an ABN and cannot legally charge you for your own piece of land, water under our land. Wake up Australia before it’s too late.
I am a teacher of remote schooling (I call it, and not ‘home schooling’). It becomes very obvious of the benefits after a very short period of time. In short, if you are a good mother or father your child will know what to do and the whole process will be very rewarding.
No doubt though, already I see the methods used in an attempt to drag children back into ‘the system’ post schooling. Prominent positions of employment (in the system) require certified gov system certificates of achievement. Traps all the way. At least they make it obvious, which helps show the path of where not to go.
Joey nails it.
In this short video, U.S. Congress candidate Lily Tang-Williams, provides some extremely important insights into the Maoist education of her childhood, and its comparison to the contemporary West.
She now says, that she.’s living through her second Cultural Revolution.
Best way to get your children (in lawful terms, children should be addressed as property of the biological parent) to be precluded from their (the unlawful corporation) grubby, slimy hands, is to not register them at birth with the “registrar”. If you do register them, you are essentially handing custody of your property to the corporation tyrants.

Not surprising, that the BASTARDS tried to ERADICATE parents, from empowering their own kids.
They will eventually try again, no doubt.
In the long term, they can’t allow kids, our future generation, to be self-empowered etc, which could be a threat to the establishment.
No doubt, some future event(s) maybe be created, in order to blame the parents for BRAINWASHING/ INDOCTRINATING their kids, according to the bs MSM.
