'Political fix': Why Morrison's school funding deal is a dud

This week’s school funding announcement is not just bad policy and contrary to the national interest of improving our education performance but is outrageous in its bald-faced audacity.

We have two microwave ovens in our staff room. One day, we found that one was down and out, the other one was still functioning.

But, at lunch time, someone stuffed up the remaining one and put an apology notice there. Then, someone came in and took her lunch box from the fridge. The moment she found out about the oven, she started swearing a blue streak.

I said to her: There is a note there explaining...So, it's stuffed, there is no point in f..king this or f...king that, doesn't help at all...

Then, you need to practice before you flip it though!
