The Epoch Times: Early Axing of Logging Falls Hard on Victorian Timber Towns
Victoria's state-owned logger VicForests has been halted after Supreme Court injunctions due to environmental concerns and it emerged on 23 May that harvesting native forests will be phased out by next year. Prior to that timber supply had dried up in Victoria, with the industry shocked by a 2030-end date being brought forward to just six months. Approximately 19% of Orbost's local workforce depend on the logging industry, with its end having knock-on effects on other local business, leading to redundancies and businesses being lost. While the state government has offered redundancy packages and training for workers in growing regional industries, it has been suggested that re-skilling will be difficult due to the nature of the industry and the age of workers.

Townhall: School Choice Success for Nebraska - Great for All Students
Nebraska has become the 50th state in the US to pass a school choice bill, establishing a tax-credit scholarship that will help over 10,000 students attend a non-public school of their choice. The scholarships will be prioritized for students living in poverty, with exceptional needs, having experienced bullying, in the foster system, or in military families. The legislation is a monumental win for Nebraska families and a testament to the advancement of educational freedom and opportunities nationwide, particularly for students of color who will benefit the most from having access to more educational options.
School choice empowers underprivileged families to close achievement disparities and overcome poverty. Nebraska's achievement gaps in math and reading are wider than the national average, and school choice is a direct solution to that problem. Families seek school choice for a variety of reasons including academic quality, safety, location, discipline policies, and class size, and Latino families in particular want to feel supported by their school and have the ability to exit a school due to bullying or violence. The passage of this legislation means legislators are finally listening to the parents and families who only want to give their children the best opportunities at success, and it is truly a great day for Nebraska families.
