The real reforms needed for education financing

Christopher Pyne can look to hike up university fees to reduce the government's funding commitment, but shouldn't he also be looking at the massive salaries of University Chancellors, with several earning more than a million dollars a year.

Then, what about the 40% of private school funding that comes from taxpayers? An Australian anomaly.

What is Balls Radio?

Balls Radio is like talk radio, but for thinking people. Now a short daily occurrence, Phil Dobbie offers his opinions on what's happening, in the UK and overseas: politics, social policy, economics, science, religion. Yes, it's another, slightly overweight middle-aged white man telling the world how it should be. But there's nothing alt-right about Balls Radio. And we try and have fun along the way.
