This week we feature a special paper given by Jean Ely to the History Fellows group at Melbourne University on 25 November 2020 as a tribute to Robert Ely, who died on 19 November 2020 after a long battle with cancer. The paper- From Karmel to Gonski: the Quest for Equality in Australian Education, was presented to the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies at Menlbourne University.

OECD data shows under-resourced public schools do AS WELL AS over-funded private schools.  The powerful multi-national corporation that is the Catholic Church demands BILLIONS in taxpayer dollars, adding to its already enormous assets. Federal government provides BILLIONS in a 'hygiene fund' for private schools to return to class- ZILCH available for public schools.www.adogs.info

Abominations, policy crimes, rorting and discrimation against a student with disability- just another week in Australia's education INDUSTRY.

Inequality in time of plague as Catholic schools cannibalise their own. Catholic indenpendent funding authority diverting public funds away from their intended poorer schools to richer flagship schools. Catholic bureaucracy has its own models of 'neediness''- the mechanics of how Catholic funding authority takes from the poor and gives to the rich, short-changing 'poor' schools.
