It is clear that the move made by the A.P.S. Council was decided upon with a proper appre­ ciation of the real needs of education in Victoria and did not seek to benefit directly, either the existing Associated Public Schools, or the newly admitted schools. In attempting to overcome the broad problem of Church education, the steps taken have, as is usual in such cases, created a number of lesser problems; ones such as inter-school competitive sporting events, and to an extent, the break in the traditional restriction of the Association, which has for fifty years been composed only of six schools. The problem of competitive sport is one of mechanics in the main, and once the basis of thought on inter-school competition is changed, then the extended field can result only in a higher standard being attained. The EDITORIAL.

If we are ever to understand the problems of the new arrival we must try and see their difficulties imaginatively, through their eyes. We must learn in some degree at least to think as they think and to feel as they feel. They have severed all ties with their homelands, to take up a new life in a land thousands of miles away.

  • 23 April 1986 ASSEMBLY 1447
    Absence ofMinisters 23 April 1986 ASSEMBLY 1447 Wednesday, 23 April 1986 The SPEAKER (the Hon. C. T. Edmunds) took the chair at 11.7 a.m. and read the prayer. ABSENCE OF MINISTERS The SPEAKER-I advise the House that the Premier will be absent during question time today as he is attending the funeral service of the late Police Constable Angela Taylor; and that the Minister for the Arts will also be absent from the House today. QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE METROPOLITAN TRANSIT AUTHORITY BORROWINGS Mr BROWN (Gippsland West)-I refer the Minister for Transport to his allegations in this House last week that the Auditor-General was in error in criticizing the escalating use of Metropolitan Transit Authority borrowings to cover operating costs. Is the Minister aware of a statement by the authority's board expressing serious concern that it is being forced to finance all capital works as well as significant operating costs from borrowings and leasings; and is it not a fact that the authority and the Auditor-General are right, and that it is the Minister who is wrong? Mr ROPER (Minister for Transport)-This matter was answered quite extensively last week by the Premier, the Treasurer and me. There is nothing further to add. As I stated last week, discussions are occurring between the Ministry of Transport and the Auditor­ General, and they are continuing. FLOATING OF THE AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR lVIr HANN (Rodney)-In his joint capacity as spokesman in this place on agricultural matters, I ask the Treasurer whether he is aware that the decision of the Federal Government to prop up the Australian dollar, rather than allow a free float of the dollar, is causing the extremely high interest rates that are placing enormous pressure on the rural community in Victoria.
