Kruddy hell

Shades of Whitlam. It now appears Rudd only consulted two other members of his party before he announced spending the future security of the country on an election promise of dubious value. Kevin’s about face on the sale of Telstra may well come up at the impending ALP conference. Has he got the measure of the Left or is it just policy without consultation? Rudd, in his messages to the party Left announces he will now accept the Coalition’s answers to the Indiginous problems. The Left are not going to be happy and I for one, look forward to the ALP conference. Should be more blood on the floor than on the ground on a bad day in Baghdad It commits a Labor government to making a formal apology over the so-called stolen generation. I would like to think it also commits a Labour government to making an formal apology for the years of troubles occassioned by Whitlam, Coombs and Hawke as they spread their socialist ‘Noble Savage Outstation’ answer. Isolate, don’t educate, accept the dole, shut up and exist under separate laws. Oh, and if the dole’s not enough here’s a suitcase with $35, 000 cash per family. Drink it and buy a new Toyota – don’t bother, no need to spend it on the future. Kevin reads the riot act on schools but the Teachers still haven’t got it.

The Australian Education Union, which represents government schools, believes there is still an imbalance in the present funding arrangements, under which public schools receive about 35 per cent of the federal funds while educating about 70 per cent of the students.

Public schools receive 35% of federal funds because education is a state issue and the states pay for the state schools. The Feds only help out. You’ll need more than words Kevin – try baseball bats. I think you will find some still under the squatters chairs on the verandahs of Queensland houses, left over from the last time the ALP screwed the country.
