"Climate change is crap" Tony Abbott
wants to fund private college courses iridology, homeopathy and...fucking flower essence therapy as part of his higher education reforms.
Profit-making colleges would receive taxpayer funding to teach students unproven alternative remedies such as homeopathy, flower essence therapy and iridology under the Abbott government's proposed higher education reforms.
The move comes as the government considers stripping the private health insurance rebate from any policies covering natural therapies not supported by evidence.
As well as deregulating university fees and cutting university funding, the government's higher education reforms would extend funding to private colleges, TAFEs and sub-bachelor degree programs at a cost of $820 million over three years.
The old conservative playbook, stripping money from government institutions while funneling it to dodgy private providers with no oversight at a cost to the taxpayer that's equal or potentially greater than the old government institutions and services themselves.
I fucking loathe this government, makes the John Howard era look like a model of good governance by comparison.
