Just like the calculator or the internet before it, this is not going away. How do we make sure that young people don't use it to get marks they don't deserve?Īs the Australian Catholic University said yesterday, “The challenge is finding the right balance between the use and abuse of AI in student work.” How do we make sure that what a young person types into ChatGPT today doesn't spit back an ad targeted at them on Tik Tok tomorrow? This also creates big challenges around privacy and integrity. It’s the internet bringing together all that information we used to have gathering dust on our bookshelves and to create new content. Generative AI takes it to the next level. That all went with the arrival of the internet. When I was a kid, people used to knock on the door trying to sell you encyclopedias. I know you have been grappling with this. Today I wanted to talk about a couple of the big challenges we face in education. I want you to know how much I value what you do. Like La Salle Catholic College in Bankstown that produced a Prime Minister in Paul Keating.Īnd the school next door, St Felix Primary, that produced an even more important Australian, my wife. Including in my own electorate, which is home to 12 great Catholic schools. Marist Brothers.Įstablished by another Irishman, Father John Therry, who was committed to spreading the power of education to a growing flock of Catholics in a growing colony.Īs Nicholas Moore said last night, until then it had been illegal.įrom one school teaching 31 students 200 years ago, to around 1,800 Catholic schools educating around one in five Australian students today.Ī mission that has been going for more than 200 years.Ī lot of those schools are in the bush and the regions.Īnd a lot of those students are from disadvantaged backgrounds. By the time he got here, there was already a Catholic School in Hunter Street, Parramatta. I sometimes wonder what he would think if he knew that his great-great-great-great grandson was now the Education Minister of the place he was sent to in leg-irons. He was transported to other side of the world for the heinous crime of stealing a book. My first ancestor to set foot on this soil 193 years ago. St Peter says, “what a pity, was there nothing worth fighting for?” The Irish tell a story about a man who arrives at the gates of heaven and asks to be let in and St Peter says, “sure, show me your scars.”Īnd the man says, “but I don’t have any scars.”
I would like to acknowledge and thank the Catholic Church for its support for the Voice. This year we have a chance to give that history a voice. To put our history in our Constitution and to recognise the fact that Australia didn't begin when Captain Cook arrived but that the Australian story-our story- goes back more than 60,000 years. In a few weeks’ time all Australians have a chance to make history.
