Some more of Donnelly's rubbish that I have to include:
"Most Australians love to see their teams win and students love to compete. Not so the AEU; its 1993 policy rejects any form of assessment that is competitive, used to rank students or based on set year-level standards of achievement. Apparently, failing students is bad for their self-esteem." Apparently so.

AND

"The AEU's 2001 and 1995 policies on the rights of gays, lesbians, bisexual and transgender people also display a decidedly PC approach. Not only does the union argue that such groups have the right to teach sex education in schools, it also states that what is taught must "be positive in its approach" and "enhance understanding and acceptance" of such groups." And he has a problem with that?

OOOH... and finally:

"Instead of celebrating what we have achieved as a nation or recognising the benefits of Australia's Anglo-Celtic, Western tradition, students are taught that all cultures should be equally valued. Instead of acknowledging the benefits of the market and the way science has saved millions, students are taught about the extinction of species, the destruction of the ozone layer and global warming." He's saying cultures should not be valued equally? Man, this is seriously offensive stuff. Keep in mind that this guy is a Howard Government Chief of Staff.
