I certainly believe that private schools should not receive public funding. The current arrangements perpetuate disadvantage in the public school system, and mean that students at private schools have far more money spent on each child than those in the public school system. Ask yourself this: If you are a child in the state school system, do you believe that you are less worthy of having public money spent on you than a child in a private school? Because that's what the current policies say, in effect. If parents want their child to attend a private school I have no quarrel with that, but they should be supported from private funds, school fees, donations etc. Most private schools are affiliated with some kind of religious organisation, so that's another reason I don't believe they should be funded by my taxes. If parents want their child to have a religious education, then it should be confined to a Saturday or Sunday School, or out of school hours study groups. All children should have absolute equality of opportunity. As long as governments fund private schools that is not the case. And I am particularly horrified that a Labour government continues to support such arrangements.

most certainly, private schools are exactly that private. they wish to educate then let them do so, but why should the taxpayer foot the bill. the country has an excellent education system, why pander to the rich

HA HA You are so funny, you think that if the government stops spending money in one area they will feed it to another, get serious, wake up australians you are living in the past, your government is much more tricky than you think, GST was sold on the basis that some people were dishonest and took cash and did not declare tax, but did it make you better off, the Australian government continue to tax more and more and more until you choke and yet get less each year and everything costs more and more, our standard of living has dropped by international standards. Food is crazy price, housing is crazy and so is banking, yet everything outside of australia gets more competitive. AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT SCREWS THE PEOPLE WHOLESALE, we have so much money come from our wealth in the ground in australia and there is such a small population in australia so why can you not just have what you want without taking it from another source, while you keep thinking like you are the government will continue to love taking the money for nothing and wasting it. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROT WHICH HAS SET IN SO WELL, the government has you brainwashed more than anywhere i have seen in the world, and many people think like me about this. sorry to seem so heavy on this but i find your thinking quite unbelievable and naive.
