We don’t ban queer teachers in public schools anymore, but it’s still allowed in some religious private schools – which the new Law Reform Commission report wants to address. What can history teach us?

Class allows us to understand inequality not as a consequence of personal failings, but as a socioeconomic issue.
Private schools are set to get a boost of billions under a new formula that links government funding to parents’ incomes rather than the socioeconomic profile of where they live.
Big Issue sellers get social contact and dignity out of their work, but it’s not a secure pathway out of poverty and homelessness. Social enterprises enable small steps; governments can do much more.
Federal and state government funding to the Catholic sector does not necessarily then flow straight to the school.
Public schools are spaces in which equality can either be supported or weakened.
