My concern is primarily with the changes to education. One of the unique Australian traits is 'a fair go for all'- regardless of socio-economic background. The ability to change ones circumstances, through which education is a primary mechanism, has until now been limited only by an individual's own personal will. We went from the lucky country to the country of opportunity. The changes to education will alter Australia forever, Its a stupid and short sighted solution to economic reform. Even Hokey has admitted that, as the son of migrant, he was fortunate to have been able to go to university and gain an education. To restrict it to those that can afford it will only emphasize class divide. This is not the Australian way.
