Some goons overreact. Go figure.

Unless you're arguing that the funding the federal level distributes to the state level is perfectly equitable at the moment, wouldn't it make more sense to only have to make that allocation once? Score all schools nationally by suitable funding need, and just go from the one purse, rather than muddle it and go via the arbitrary states.

My argument is basically that it isn't perfectly equitable now, and I think the funding and allocation issues that exist at a state level now would still exist and possibly be amplified if you put just one federal Minister in charge of all schools across the country. For a start, good luck coming up with a singular funding model to apply across the country.

Why exactly is Pyne considered moderate?

He's an unabashed careerist who joined the LNP on a coin-flip and would have been content to run for Labor had it been advantageous at the time, which puts him at odds with the earnestly malicious idiots in his party.

Said earlier in the thread but there are no moderates in the LNP. There's the corrupt plutocrat FYGM extreme wing and the religious bigot extreme wing.

Pyne is basically the LNP's broken clock. He's a piece of poo poo all day and then to your great surprise he backs something reasonable or opposes something unreasonable and catches you off guard.

Losing their 2 best senators in a week due to administrative poo poo that should have been checked is pretty bad, guess they wont make that mistake again? I saw a tweet with a screenshot of her birth place as a joke the same day Ludlam announced he was retiring, didn't think it would turn out to be not a joke.
