TPAA National Secretary Edward Schuller spoke with the ABC following revelations of the QLD Education data breach.

Sensitive data identifying students and teachers across Australia, but particularly in Queensland and Tasmania, has been stolen and is being held at ransom.

Hackers managed to break into the data storage used by the Department of Education, leaving students and teachers worried about their privacy and safety.

The TPAA has long held concerns, and voiced them directly to the department, that the centralisation of services, decision-making, and data by the government would result in not only inefficiency, but data risks.

Today marks 107 years since the signing of the armistice which saw the end of the First World War.

As we reflect on the incredible bravery of the Australian men and women who have fought for our country, we must renew our gratitude for their sacrifices - of which more than 100,000 have made the ultimate one.

Australia's involvement in WW1 is one of great magnitude and bloodshed. A small country just 13 years since federation, Australia answered the call to enter the Great War and more than 62,000 perished - over 1.2% of our total population. More to the point, nearly 15% of all the men that enlisted paid the ultimate price.

To understand the sheer scale of the sacrifices made, that equates to 326,400 dead as a proportion of our population today.

The courage and patriotism of all the men and women who have died for our country has left an indelible mark on our nation's history. There is no greater love than to lay down your life for a friend, and we enjoy the freedoms we have today because of the men and women who have done so.

Let's honour their memory and commemorate their legacy. Lest we forget.
