I became a blogger in order to get an education, and so far this is happening in spades.<BR/><BR/>Steve Fielding certainly seems to be behaving like a twit, though I fear it may be libel to say he actually is one and probably sedition as well. But I feel kind of sorry for him, being so publicly and so contemptuously (and contemptibly) used by the govt.

He currently lives in the city of Knox with his wife Susan and three children aged 15, 13 and 10. <BR/><BR/>He completed his Higher School Certificate at Merrilands High School and was offered a place at Melbourne University to study for a Bachelor of Engineering. After completing his Engineering Degree in 1983 he entered the corporate world of Hewlett-Packard.<BR/><BR/>He also did an MBA at Monash in 92, so not totally unaware...perhaps he chafed at having to pay fees. He's probably spent too long in the corporate world.<BR/><BR/>I do think there is something dangerous about how the Senate's vote can hang off one person's private cogitations (e.g. Harradine).<BR/><BR/>Btw, tried to use a catavar but you're blog wouldn't let me.

He kept on talking about students as though they were average members of the population with an average wage. That's the problem with these consensus people, who want to believe that they're giving equal weight to everyone's views ... they don't understand that the playing field isn't equal in the first place. ACOSS reported high levels of student poverty a couple of years ago. The only people who are going to be able to afford to go to Uni are those whose parents can afford to keep them home and hosed for a few more years. Anyway, preaching to the converted -- sorry!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
