Mr Baillieu has been described as Jeff Kennett on learner permits. He stumbles from embarrassment to embarrassment, and we see in the newspapers day after day yet another embarrassment. The latest action is to take schoolteachers to court. He promised them that they were going to be the best-paid in the country and he thinks the way to achieve that is by suing them in courts.

If you look at what is happening, the most vulnerable schools are actually losing direct government support. Take Kunai College in Eastern Victoria, for instance. Almost 40 per cent of the parents cannot afford the annual fee of $280.
