//"We are so different from Britain in so many ways.

Not automatically, just a repeat after "due" consideration.//

Nevertheless, our school systems are different. An English Public School is an entirely different beast to an Australian Public School.

Their public education is somewhat different as well. For example, they have a category of school known as 'Academies'. Academies are state-funded, but do not have to follow the national curriculum... I can't think of an Australian equivalent.

Josephus, what any safe schools program should do is not let those ratbag Christian fundos within a bulls roar of the place. Preventing them from poisoning any more hearts and minds of our impressionable children. You must agree with that, it is religious policy to get them while they are young, Brainwash a child, and you could have him for life, think of the potential long term tax free income for those in control. Are you one of those in control Fr.Joe?
.

Come on Paul. This is just you saying that you want your side doing the brainwashing instead of the other side. Or, don't you see telling kids they can be what ever gender they want, or that they should respect homosexuality etc etc as brain washing?

ttbn, I'll will burn in Hell for saying this, Sister Mary told me so at school when I was 8 years old, but did you know the Popes a Protestants! Did you also know Purgatory is made from fire and ice. and there is a place called Limbo for good souls who are not Catholics, Sister Mary was a Catholic BTW. Heaven is the exclusive domain of Catholics, Hell is for the Protestants! Particularly those Irish hating English Protestants who persecuted the Irish, and don't recognize the Holy Father in Rome, BTW Sister Mary was Irish. ttbn you wouldn't be a Pommy Protestant by any chance?
See I attended Catholic School and their safe schools program was all inclusive and run by Sister Mary types, I was never brain washed

Toni,

"Nevertheless, our school systems are different. An English Public School is an entirely different beast to an Australian Public School."

Here's some English Public Schools:
Charterhouse School.
Eton College.
Harrow School.
Rugby School.
Shrewsbury School.
Westminster School.
Winchester College.

and here are some Great Public Schools in NSW:
Newington College.
Shore School.
St Ignatius' College.
St Joseph's College.
Sydney Boys High School.
Sydney Grammar School.
The Armidale School.
The King's School.

There is a difference of course, the use of the word 'Great'.

It helps to compare like with like.

Paul,

How're you going to eliminate domestic violence without eliminating Islam?
