Not long before the inquiry in VCAT in March – Longstaff and his new ethics teaching organization, who agreed to teach ethics with volunteers because … well no one is really sure why state school teachers can’t teach ethics, and no one is really sure why the Church sets the terms of reference in the nation’s schools … oh, wait, I do know why … they set the terms because they have access to politicians who hold hearings like this …

What a farce.
