While they ask the wrong questions they'll never get the right answers!

It's dead simple, Australia's public education sector has been progressively starved of resources for at least twenty years now as federal governments poured taxpayers' money instead into 'private schools' [~33% of students now attend exclusive, taxpayer-funded 'private schools'].

Australian taxpayers are funding a $FOR $PROFIT private education sector way beyond that of any other country on Earth, without monitoring what they do or holding them publicly accountable for what happens with taxpayers' money they're gifted or value-adding to educational outcomes.

This is a 100% waste of $Countelss $Billions of taxpayers' money. It's counter-productive of both educational outcomes and a more cohesive society.

So why is it happening?
1. To enable wealth transfer from taxpayers to religious organisations allowed to register as 'charities'.
2. To assist in the wealth transfer to Australia's wealthiest 5% by subsiding enrolments at exclusive, select entry taxpayer-funded 'private schools'.
3. To enable commercial operators to cream off $BILLIONS of taxpayers' money every year.
4. To ensure that public school students are severely disadvantaged.

Clearly, Jason Clare's talk-fest full of motherhood statements pledging support for hard working and burnt-out teachers was all but irrelevant!

somehow I don't think this is about to change under Albanese Gov.....

the gov is able to manage aged care staff as its entirely under federal gov jurisdiction, but hospitals and education, where staff shortages are created by the burnout rate and inadequate funding, are entirely under State gov... or at least thats the argument they will apply.

meanwhile schools, universities and health care will suffer seemingly interminably and people will wait in ever-increasing queues before any fix is managed.

I hope I'm wrong.
