I hate to be the one to tell you mate, but when you make a post like this, you really should proof read your grammar.
Whenever you have an argument with someone, there comes a moment where you must ask yourself, whatever your political persuasion, 'am I the Nazi?'

OECD report finds Australian students falling behind

December 4, 2013
Josephine Tovey, Anna Patty

Australian high school students' achievement in maths and reading has slumped over the past decade, while huge gaps persist based on wealth, location, gender and whether students are indigenous.

The snapshot of international education achievement by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) released on Tuesday night has revealed worrying trends for Australia, showing that while students in this country perform better than the OECD average, results are slipping and are bedevilled by equity issues.

The findings are likely to further fuel debates around school funding, reinvigorated this week by the Abbott government's shifting positions on the Gonski ''needs-based'' funding model, and its decision to hand $1.2 billion to non-signatory jurisdictions such as the Northern Territory which will not be required to distribute the funding to schools with the most disadvantaged students.

Every opposition question in Tuesday's question time targeted the government's new schools funding model, outlined on Monday. These are the highlights of an aggressive and rowdy hour in parliament.

The latest Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) tests of mathematics, reading and science show Australia is being outperformed by more and more countries, particularly from East Asia, with Australian students performing at a level equivalent to three years behind students from Shanghai in mathematics and 1½ years behind in reading.

Australia's rankings fell in all subjects, from 15th to 19th in mathematics, 10th to 16th in science and 9th to 14th in reading since 2009.

''We're being outperformed by a much larger number of countries now,'' said Sue Thomson, director of educational monitoring and research at the Australian Council for Educational Research.

How can that be? BeN and Moops told us migrants didn't integrate well, needed to be supported by taxpayers, and were generally undesirable?

But now we find out that their kids are smarter and harder working than non-migrant kids?

And also we know that adult migrants earn more (and are generally higher skilled) than non-migrants.

Which means they pay more tax per person than non-migrants.

So really, non-migrants like BeN and Moops are being subsidised by taxes from migrants.

Also, since BeN and Moops are renters, they are also being subsidised by the net $40 billion per annum tax revenue from property owners.

Does that mean BeN and Moops were wrong again... that in fact THEY are the leeches on society, rather then the property owners and migrants they hate so much?

1. Epic Fail! Steve Keen's Bad Calls and Predictions.
2. Residential property loans regulated by NCCP Act. Banks can't margin call unless borrower defaults.
3. Housing is second highest taxed sector of Australian Economy. Renters subsidised by highly taxed homeowners.
4. Ongoing improvement in housing affordability. Australian household formation faster than population growth since 1960s.

So they work in our primarily parasitic businesses paying tax to our parasitic government. Tax that gets eaten up by chardonnay socialist losers working for the bloated public service, nimby boomers sitting in $1m+ houses, and fucken bogan shit for their 5 kids. Whilst putting downward pressure on professional wages. Providing customers for bloated banks and the bloated RE sector.

So yeah, f$ck off. They do NOTHING for the likes of me.

If immigration is just soooooo wonderful and soooo good for the economy, why are we in soon to be $500bn debt? It is a MASSIVE fraud. MASSIVE. Only the most brain dead fucktard scum would disagree.

Moron.

Frank Castle is a liar and a criminal. He will often deliberately take people out of context and use straw man arguments.
Frank finally and unintentionally gives it up and admits he got where he is, primarily via dumb luck!

The problem is dynamic one. But we live in a world that is increasingly mechanistic in outlook.
The next trick of our glorious banks will be to charge us a fee for using net bank!!!
You are no longer customer, you are property!!!

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
