Apparently, Australia's kids are doing badly in literacy. And so our esteemed prime minister, in her pathetic belief that she can fix anything by just passing laws and throwing money at it, has done just that: another $1.1 billion of unfunded promises.
She should've asked me. I know the solution. Toilet paper!
Yes, toilet paper!
When I was knee-high to a grasshopper in post-war Germany, the youngest of five children, it was my job to cut up the daily newspaper into neat and handy squares.
It was a boring job and our big family needed a big pile of them and so I tried to read what I was cutting up: news about the Korean War, the first organ transplant, McCarthy looking for Communists under every bed, the first colour television - free reading while cutting up toilet paper and free reading while using it ☺
