Have a cry

Yeah thats right Cherry-im-a-dickhead-blossom, my Dad is Kerry Packer and my mum is Lucy Turnbull. And they're going to pay ALL my uni fees *flutters eyelashes* lordy you are so sad haha. "connections" uni is uni and HECS is designed to be totally affordable and it IS. So yeah - shut up

That maybe so but I'm not wrong

How in hell can labor even hope to rectify the situation with our health/education systems if they can never manage to have a surplus? All these supposedly wonderful policies Latham is spouting can never be any good UNLESS we have a strong economy - they can implement these policies as a result...

SO cherryblossom you think labor has a good health policy? Its a shortage of doctors and nurses thats the major problem in the health system NOT the fact that its not affordable. Sure, health could be made more affordable, but making it totally unsustainable by proposing it will be free for all...

Oh and for those of you who made disparaging remarks about the coalition's 'L-plate' ads, i fail to understand how you can ignore Latham's amusing usage of a series of ill-placed metaphors and cliches - HAHA! - they're a classic! "The employment tree" (i mean, what the hell?) "The ladder of...

In reply to the "as long as Latham doesn't make any slip ups" comment - you can be sure he will. 'A week's a long time in politics' - three years?? Haha, I'm surprised they haven't given him the boot already, but unfortunately for them they can't, since everyone else is in the party is even more...

In response to tattoedguy's posts - this isn't just children naked. In fact, it's not just children, it's INFANTS. The police said they've found images and videos of toddlers and babies in BONDAGE SITUATIONS. This isn't just children naked - it's absolutely horrible. Little babies and...

Geez mate, if it's any consolation i'm sure she's feeling to same way as you do. Maybe when she gets older and is able to she'll come back to Australia? I think if you're meant to be together and she really is 'the one' you'll be brought back together again.

Well - YOU (ribbon) wouldn't struggle to send your kids to a private school because you are simply selfish and have your priorities wrong. A "huge house" is somewhat different to an opportunity and an education for your child. That comment just emphasises how moronic your argument is. Oh and...

Ah Asquithian! Well done! It would seem you have pre-empted me - is that meant to be proof that they are selective? It seems to me like its more proof that you're wrong - "girls who have confirmed positions will sit a placement test" sounds to me like they test academic ability AFTER they've...

Well you're wrong - look on their website if you don't believe me. There are no entrance exams and 50% or more of the grade gets a UAI over 90 and often 30 people a year get above 99. Four people topped the state last year in various courses and 27 girls were on the Premier's honour awards list...

yeah exactly - PLC is a prestigious school and have the results to show for it. AND they are definitely not selective - not at all.

Yes Asquithian! oh my god - for once i agree with you. I'm glad you've come to terms with the fact that disagreeing with the sensible and intelligent in our sociey does render you unfortunately, an ignorant whinger. :D But on the subject of Knox and Barker - they aren't the best examples...

Oh, and with the whole "prestigious schools" thing, and for those who think their funding should be cut - i could understand this if they werent producing the results, but they are. These "prestigious schools" have some of the best results in the state and they aren't selective.

Ah, ellymelly it's good to see a young woman with an educated, sensible opinion such as yourself. To cherryblossom, for gods sake stop whinging about no textbooks - at private schools we arent supplied with textbooks either - we have to buy them ourselves and they are damn expensive so cut the...

Just so you know, i'm not having a 'waa waa' about my parents running around with 2 jobs to pay for my education, because they don't - i'm making reference to the thousands of parents who DO, so don't start on me having a cry about that. A sacrifice is a sacrifice no matter how much someone...

Well what do you want me to do about it? You're the one who proposed the 'what if'. I never said we should give all the money to private schools, i just said we shouldn't take away any of their funding. I never said complete privatisation would be a good thing, not at all.

That'd be great. I'm not sure how the total privatisation of the education system would fare in the long run, and then there'd be the problem of people who couldn't afford $500 a year. I think public schools need more funding, but not at the expense of private schools.

Of course i would like to see it!! It'd be fantastic, but unfortunately it's not possible because of the facilities the schools have which cannot be sustained by $500 a year from each girl. If that happened, everyone would get the best start in life that they could. I can't believe you think I'M...
