The First of “Non-Core” ALP Promises??
THE Rudd Government has backed away from an election pledge to provide every upper secondary school student with their own computer.
I think this is absolutely priceless. The ALP buys an election and then the bill arrives. Its a mad scramble to pass it from one to the other till it is left down the end of the table where you normally put school teachers that you feel compelled to invite, but really don’t want to actually have to speak to.
Can anybody else hear the creaking sounds of incompetence ringing through Canberra? One termers if they are lucky. This lot couldn’t organise a chook raffle.
Yes I can. And I’m wearing earplugs.

Don’t forget that billion dollars they just cut that the mean, nasty, terrible Howard was giving to schools to do things the states wouldn’t. None the less, i’m not confident they’ll be thrown out in one term, Rudds very crafty and he’s not stupid. Make all the spending cuts now and screw everybody over now, come election time and he’ll throw some money around and no one will remember what happened in 07 or 08.
