So we're only making education decisions to benefit 60% of the population now? The other 40% (who, incidentally, pay ~90% of the taxes that fund education) can go jump?

I'm all for bringing up the standards of public education, but a third of Australian kids go to non-government schools and they're entitled to be treated as more than sacrificial lambs who are only good for dragging up the performance of their local public school a couple of points

Public education is a welfare safety net, not a tool for soviet-style social engineering
