Letters to the EditorFatherly Advice
Hi, i'm writing apropos Kemp's idiot education funding scheme and Labor's shamless cave-in. No doubt, one can go on in great, grave detail about the same and more alarmingly, the horrendous intellectual and socioeconomic impact of the plan down the road, but all I need to know is how Kim justifies his party's stand on the issue. That he has appointed Lee as the shadow speaks volumes towards his commitment to education in particular & the 'knowledge nation' generally but wonder if Kim has discussed the issue with his dad? If not, i think he bloody ought to. thanks, Taz
