Don't worry folks, after Labor wins the election and Mr Abbott is replaced as leader, you'll have a few more years at your disposal to whinge on this forum and tell us how Mr Hockey will make the best Prime Minister this country has ever known. I can hardly wait.

The ONLY reason Mr Abbott will actually still be leading the Liberals at the August election is that they are 100% guaranteed to lose the election. NO liberal politician will now step up for the leadership **PRIOR** to this election, as it will now be the kiss of death for his/her career. If the election was to held next year then there's no doubt in my mind that Mr Abbott would not be leading them into that election. He's a hopelessly inept leader, weighed down by his "past".

Individual,
"Labor orientated Aust Navy Boat crew?"
That's got to be one of the most desperate grasping-at-political-straws I've heard in a long time.

On what evidence could you possibly make a statement like that?

So it's a lie based on the testimony of a boat crew and nothing to do with those mean and tricky politicians who decided after they were corrected on the facts of the incident "well, we better not see the video then".

Wobbles while you found desperation in Indy's post I found joy!
That you see is the best they can do.
Are doing every day.
Desperate untruths.
Silly fairy storys'

It is from Liberal plans 1 2 and 3.
Saying let us not tell them what we plan, just complain.
Complain and some will believe us.
Headlines say only the foolish will switch because of this policy.
The wise will see in this Liberals prove they are not ready to govern.
This tactic was born in private school yard bulling by upper class twits.

All the year 9's got their computers at our school last year and are due to get them this year. Always understood that they were only ever going to go to year 9 kids meaning it will take 4 years to complete the role out. As for the BER our school will shortly have its brand new bricks and mortar library completed to replace the old transportable one we have had ever since and the bottom oval properly drained, didn't notice any unwanted buildings there.

I wonder if anyone will apologise for their constant attacks on the BER when the report comes back showing the normal percentage of problem jobs based more around the State base education administrations and exploding costs due to the market forces but little to do with the government other than their short sightedness, or will this be another communist conspiracy to over run the country with reds.

As for the Liberals it is not hard to claim they didn't have these sort of stuff up's, they never did anything of consequence in education to stuff up except cut backs to public schooling and funding private schools. This has lead to all those very popular islamic schools popping up around the country.

Nairbe,

I am glad for your school, however, this is the not the story for many schools.

For the number of laptops issued, of which most have dated by at least a year, the average cost to the tax payer is in the order of $20 000 per laptop. I guess that they must be very special.

I would guess that your new building is gold plated too?

My son got one, and its probably in a corner or under a bed somewhere gathering dust. The problem with them is they arent very good quality, and they are severely limited in what internet sites they can access. Fair enough if porn is limited with some kind of filter, excepting if you want to get around the filters you would need a child to help you...
By knocking music on the head also, he prefers to use his mums computer. By knocking many government websites on the head, its not much good for schoolwork either. Particularly teenage boys will have no interest in a computer that does nothing except maths tutorials and stuff.

It would have saved a huge administration cost and been far more effective to simply give each kid $500 to buy a netbook or similar. Whats the individual cost of one of the "free" computers sitting round gathering dust?
