This pragmatism would eliminate most of the administration costs currently levied by 7 veritable armies of fee demanding double handling state bureaucracies!? Which given the school halls rollout debacle, as a cogent cost adding historical evidential example, could add another 30% to available and pragmatically directed education purpose funds!
It's still the same single bucket of available, if vastly better directed, money!
And sure to make state based pollies and bureaucrats scream blue murder and invent all manner of spurious reasons to continue with the current for them, gravy train, or cost adding counterproductive control? And you won't have to hold your breath!
