Policing is often not fantastic as showcasing the skills and training officers obtain and receive. Coming from the motorsports world I am interested in police drivers. Officers are classed via a training/qualifications framework that loosely ranges from basic up to advanced.

Great analysis from Sam Bamford in this clip highlighting how Labor does use immigration to harvest votes and that the ABC openly acknowledges this. Mass migration doesn't just put pressure on Infrastructure and essential services. Albanese and the Labor party are clearly selling Australia for votes. Another shameful example of how it's anything but Australia First when it comes to Labor. As the respected business journal Macrobusiness points out, Albanese is recognising subpar job qualifications from migrants in particular Indians, when it comes to work visas and quote: 👇 "The Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese visited India last month to sign a with counterpart Narendra Modi to expand work rights and immigration for Indians to Australia. Under the Mechanism for Mutual Recognition of Qualifications, “Indian qualifications will be recognised in Australia”. This agreement, which was clearly drafted by India requires Australia to recognise all Indian: •Senior secondary education qualifications awarded by a relevant board or council of senior secondary education or awarded by any other authority empowered by the Government of India. •Technical and vocational education and training qualifications awarded by institutions approved by the All-lndia Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and/ or National Council for Vocational Education and Training (NCVET) and/or its equivalent body and State Councils for Vocational Training (SCVT). •Higher education qualifications awarded by institutions authorised by the University Grants Commission (UGC), the All-lndia Council for Technical Education (AICTE), the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE), as well as other equivalent bodies. In summary, graduates from Indian tertiary institutions will now be allowed to work in Australia on the same terms as local graduates. India’s tertiary education system is far inferior to Australia’s, with their best university ranked at a lowly 415th in the world. India is renowned for churning out degree shovelware and fake qualifications whose holders will now be able to work in Australia under this mutual recognition agreement. This week, Bloomberg published an alarming report on India’s “worthless college degrees” that serves as a harbinger of what is in store for Australia under Anthony Albanese’s mutual recognition agreement with India."

Pardon the long video, you need to hear the whole engagement. I am more angry than I was yesterday. 😤😡 Commissioner Khumalo took Andrea Johnson through Brigadier Mokwele's QUALIFICATIONS which she had not seen up till now!!! Khumalo: What suitable qualifications do you say Ms. Mokwele did not have when she was appointed to this position? Johnson: I don't know her qualifications. There was a 4 minute pause with her trying to find the documents and look at them. Having seen the qualifications.... Khumalo: Why make a statement under oath to this Commission that she did not have qualifications? She has withdrawn and apologized, but Brigadier Mokwele MUST SUE HER and she MUST BE FIRED!! What a shame! 😭 #MadlangaCommission

Leonie Hughes was written off by the education system at 15. Growing up in a home shaped by instability and addiction, she left school with no qualifications and no clear path forward. Now, after a decade of self-teaching, working low-paid jobs, and fighting for every step of her education, she has been called to the Bar.

This video from the South African Parliament took me back to a dinner I had with Chinese diplomats at the Great Wall restaurant in Harare, at the invitation of Professor Ibbo Mandaza. The diplomats told us that Africa’s biggest enemy is not China or any other continent, but Africa’s habit of employing and deploying incompetent government officials into important positions of power that require competence. They said African government officials sent out to negotiate with foreign counterparts were a huge embarrassment, and it was painful to watch when their incompetence was on display. The attached video is from the parliamentary interviews for South Africa’s National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) is a South African government agency. It was established under the NYDA Act of 2008 to address challenges faced by the nation’s youth. It operates at national, provincial, and local levels, focusing on youth development through various programs and services.
