Most people commenting here don't have kids. Private schools are so prolofic because the majority of public schools are so defunded and sad looking that there is a native demand for schools with... non-below average facilities which families are willing to pay for.

This country doesn't spend enough on education and instead is letting its citizens fund the education sector out of their own pockets. It's kinda criminal.

So instead of blanket banning private schools we should be funding public ones to the level that makes most private schools redundant.

That's way too basic to be a solution. If you take from them they'll simply take it back from us by cutting jobs and services while raising fees.

We should be making it harder if not outright illegal for them to arbitrarily cut costs in the way they do i.e closing branches, offboarding atms, making workers redundant to keep up profits. They are in many ways a public service and the service component is worth protecting.

Countering this behaviour would be far more impactful to Australians and the economy than just having them hand a bag of money to the government.

I think they should still sell them but they should be $40 per sanger and have "best of walmart" type warning images stapled onto the plain paper bag.

School will never need to run another fundraiser ever again

The first of which was in Claremont

Love the smell of cheap KPI attainment in the morning

That Lego could have been quickly converted into cash without much fuss. Not the most space efficient way to launder money but it makes a lot of financial sense.

An interesting read, but the solution of using our media to influence human behaviour into being pro-ecology ain't gonna work unless being sustainable is equally as profitable which it cannot be because sustainability is ultimately linked to less consumption of primary resources which is, contrarily, one of the biggest drivers for economic growth.

One thing the article highlights rightly is that all this focus on renewables should be secondary to humanity needing to simply consume less. It's a change we can make within a generation and would be far more impactful than any technological advances or deliberate population control.

In a large city they can be practically boycotted. Most people just can't be bothered.

In terms of frugal options, Maccas is currently the winning the fast food space.

I find Maccas and HJs tend to trade places in this in a 3-5 year cycle. Though if you're talking $ per calorie KFC wins hands down.

For the best, even if not toxic the texture and will have gone to shit

Fear and prejudice transcends all education.
