        So now you can go on strike and leave work to protest any of your pet causes even though they have nothing to do with your employment oh that’s brilliant no wonder the unions are a dinosaur from the past all involved should have their pay docked for unauthorised leave of absence

        Could have waited another 4 weeks when you’re in holidays for 6 weeks. Embarrassment for other fellow teachers

        Sack all the teachers who are force feeding our school children with their own personal agendas. The Queensland Govt has caved into militant Unions

        As this would not be a "protected industrial action" I feel that the union and the activist teachers should be fined.

        If the teachers were really serious they would protest in their own time instead of robbing kids of class time. I would have thought our politicians would be stronger on this instead of being bystanders.

        Good, we need to stop offshore processing and illegally incarcerating these people, they have not broken any laws by seeking asylum or refugee status.
