Anyone here living in Aus? We lived there for 9yrs until 2016 and all of us except youngest child have citizenship. Considering possibly moving back at some point, and think I remember reading that the 'woke' situation is as bad as, or worse than here? I'm aware I'm being very generic in my description, and that a lot of people don't like the term Woke, but concerned about DC (ages 6 & 8) and what they might be exposed to in school, university etc. Grateful for any input. Thanks

Not sure how anyone would know what my 'beliefs' are from this post, and it was on Mumsnet that I've read of people in Aus having a difficult time with women's rights etc.

Look up the definition of woke.
If it is the opposite of your beliefs, you need to take a long hard look at yourself.

What an odd question!
Where did you hear this? Daily Fail? I guess it depends on your definition of "woke agenda."
Maybe Russia may suit you better, or China, Iran?....

Yes, because the opposite of woke is China.

How helpful dewclaw 🙄

Lizzy, I’m not in Australia, so I can’t help - but of course I’ve seen a lot of press coverage, politicians’ speeches & the reaction to KJK, so I can understand that you might be concerned about the erosion of women’s rights there. Hope that someone with more direct experience will be along soon
