This is good to see. Over the long term, to be honest, I think we'd be better off with less and less state government control over all sectors, with more being split between federal and local councils.
Regarding this story in particular, it's disappointing that the only mention of private schools is in a single uncontextualised quote right at the bottom. The government should not be providing private schools with one cent of funding, let alone the current situation where the federal government provides more funding to private schools than it does to public.
I must have missed that class in school, but isn't the point of a private school is meant to be privately funded.
Oh makes sense, I went though public education so I probably wouldn't understand.
