| Message | Thank you to the SDP for their response. The Ministry of Education is the most overfunded of all branches of the government we have found. The current figure is archaic and has not been changed to reflect legislative changes over recent years such as: - Ending of free college for all and the introduction of means tested loans. - This value <The government allows public and private higher education institutions to coexist with self-regulation for those that are private.> - Privatization of Pre-school education Johnathon Brisbane Minister of Finance |
