It’s a dreary fact of the nation’s education system that the most prestigious private schools are often twisted proxies for parents’ various political causes. Perth’s St Hilda’s didn’t stand a chance once its most famous former student got involved.

Rinehart had seemingly done some keyword searches of the curriculum and concluded by “rough estimate” that “one-third” was what she called “anti-Australia … propaganda”.
