Well it's not really obvious as minus the WMD's they would have had a much tougher time getting public support for the war.

Maybe these good public school teachers should vote out the apparatchiks who run the teachers union.

Sure but Blair went further than the evidence allowed. He didn't say that they suspected that they had WMD's he said it was "beyond doubt". He should have resigned after none were found.

Either are businesses but if you are a principal and your results aren't stellar don't you think you'd have an added incentive with these league tables to try to get rid of the teachers who you know aren't any good and that you'd have an incentive to keep those teachers who are top performers?

Funny thing is it's exposed some private schools that charge a hell of a lot for mediocre results.

Don't you think people know that a school in say punchbowl is likely to have more students from a disadvantaged background etc. than a school in the northern suburbs? Parents and taxpayers shouldn't be treated as idiots who need to be protected from unpalatable truths. As for the teacher's...

The whole "cougar" meme seems made up by a writer at Cosmo. Would anyone think it's "empowering" for over the hill, middle aged men to be chasing 20 something women? I'm not sure why it's empowering for middle aged women who think they are carrie from sex and city but more closely resemble...

So we just pay them ad inifinitum to sit around and get drunk? The loan shark might not be our biggest problem in the story. Glad my taxes are being well spent.

I'd like to know how these clowns are all getting centerlink money? Have they finagled their way on to the disability allowance? If they are getting new start you can guarantee none of them are looking for a job. Cut off their welfare payments for a start.

you sound like the communists in the '50's talking about how communism was a really great thing and the USSR etc. just wasn't doing it right.

Stupid idea. Suddenly France wakes up and realizes that they made a terrible mistake letting in so many muslims and now they are thrashing around impotently. Horse. Barn. Bolted.
