Infuriating. In this form, private education is an absolute cancer.

I've worked on both private and public school projects. The budget disparity is depressing.

$30mil for a creative arts precinct including new full sized theatre that can be publically rented out vs $5mil to upgrade the entire school to meet the growing population of the area and everything had to be done on the cheap, and even then things had to be even cheaper still.

Private schools should absolutely not get any funding. Give more to public schools so that education is available to everyone regardless of status.
