And here is another tale of woe emanating from the abysmal consequences of the Deep Blue State.

Further subjugation of the poor towards serfdom and the homeless camps on the edge of town, making life more comfortable for the wealthy townsfolk, suppressing the visual horror of poverty, while saving taxpayer dollars on increasingly useless Public education.

Why would they be doing this when we already have some of the dumbest kids in the world?

The sudden realisation that more money is not going to improve the quality of education?

No. The political class, in thrall to communist unions, would never admit that.

The author seems to think that money equals good education:

“All this means that NSW public schools, the largest school system in Australia, will not receive the funding that had been deemed necessary for all students to reach an acceptable education standard.”

Who does the “deeming”? Woke backroom boys wearing dunces’ hats?

And, has the NSW government been asked why it cut funding?

This one goes into the so what, who cares basket.

Money/vouchers should be going to parents to enable them to choose a good education for their kids, with both private and government schools competing in the market.

Yup, this is, I believe, the result of incompetence, corruption, or quite gross mismanagement of taxpayer funds, lunatics in charge of the asylum, rainbows over still water, state insolvency, the deep, deep blue state/the green, yellow or purple state, Diver dan's brilliant fiscal advice, faces in the clouds, Pygmies war dance.

Termites in the vault, eating money, aliens, hands in the till, a brain eating virus? Pollies pensions, a war chest for the next election, buying land for the promised rapid rail, donations to Trump for his legal defence?

Lies, lies and statistics? The money printers are on strike? Businesses are withholding the GST?

Where did all the money go, long time passing. Where did all the money go, it's blowing in the wind.

Russian interference/Chinese influence. Ministers asleep at the wheel/couldn't run a chook raffle, fraud, carrying way too much public debt. Or some combination of all the above?

Since it was raised and speaking of pygmies, what do you call a frozen dwarf Eskimo?
Answer: A frigid Midget with a ridged digit.

Are the public-school funds also frozen? Should the Federal government assume all public-school funding? And with that end the blame shifting game politicians all play!

Or should we put Forest Gump in charge as an overdue improvement?

Don't blame NSW, blame Gillard and Gonski. It was always perfectly obvious that their 80:20 plus "needs based and sector blind" was a stitch-up, to lock in the permanent overfunding of church schools and slow starvation of state schools. This cruel system will still be here in 2050, we are stuck with it.
