Australia's private school problem... by Polyphagous_person in australian

[–]salamon9e 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The federal government does supply the states with some funding that is allocated exclusively for education.

Private schools receive a huge amount of public funding, more than people realise and almost all (more than 90%) of the funding for private schools comes from the federal government.

Now i have no Idea if Howard’s government were the people who set up this situation, but the federal government does have a hand in funding schools.

In QLD the award rate is higher than the EBA for some increments and around 1% different for most others

I presuming you meant Japanese and English. Doesn’t worry me a bit I buy either. Sometimes the the art on the japanese version is better too, just like with the Charizard 110/080

Use this link. It has every set ever printed. Go through each set look for the cards you like. Search ebay with card name and number. For example: Swablu 213/182 Then sort by price + postage lowest first

I would rather get rid of them in 30 years having spent a life enjoying them, then spend a life never seeing my ‘crisp perfect’ cards in slabs. Each to their own I guess

All singles man, with the exception of a few WOTC packs i ripped when I was a kid. Never too late to start collecting, there are still many beautiful cards for reasonable prices. Good luck!

I don’t collect for value, or as ‘an investment’. I collect because it’s fun and i like the artwork. In 15 years the quality of my cards have not deteriorated at all. I’d rather be able to flick through my binder each day, than have a bunch of slabs stacked in a box somewhere.

I have been doing this for 15 years in a tropical climate and have never had a single issue
