That's right, private schools are "not for profit" organisations.

NFPs are quasi government. They provide a community service and therefore save the Govt (Tax-payers) billions of dollars annually that would otherwise come out of the budget to fund these essential services.

There are tens of thousands of such organisations providing childcare, aged care, disability care, education, training, affordable housing etc etc.

Every child should receive government funding for education.

My taxes should not exclude my own children.

what has that to do with $20+ million dollars used to build a new pool? Private schools are a business like any other and should not receive any funding ....

Its completely ridiculous how the government (all parties) fund private schools.

SOB

Didn't you read my post? Private schools SAVE the Govt around $7 Billion dollars annually.

Actually the figure is more like $8.3 Billion according to ISCA (Independent Schools Council of Australia).

Quote:

From ISCA Having independent schools saves Commonwealth and State governments in order of $3.9 billion a year in recurrent funding alone. That is, for the governments of Australia to educate in government schools those students currently attending non-government schools would cost an additional $8.3 billion per annum of which approximately $3.9 billion is attributed to students attending independent schools. In the absence of the non-government school sector, either total government spending on education (and most likely taxation) would have to increase or average government funding per student in government schools would need to be reduced.

Governments, even quasi socialist Labor Govts know this.

That's why they fund private schools. It's a no brainer...

So what? Doesnt mean the government should be propping up businesses.

SOB

A business?

Private schools are a business?

Who receives the profits Miss Borg?

Are there share holders.

How much dividend is paid?

Of course they are businesses since they are "private". Some may be churches and so we will never know where the money goes though.

Over $700B in assets, and thats just the catholic church ... I'm sure if you add up the other religions you will exceed $100 B.

The pope needs a new office complex in Rome ... his rental income figures aren't going up at the rate they were expected so they need to boost it by adding more property to the pool.

Gillard's school monument scam has ceased hasn't it?

Besides people on the dole get millions (billions) of dolllars in hand outs. Does the Govt tell them to stop drinking beer and playing pool? Cheesy
