This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

This is just federal spending. Most educational spending is at the state level.

I don’t know much but I don’t think Australia works that way? Do they have “states” or some equivalent? Curiously asking.

Yeah we have 6 states. Australia is a federation like the US. There's no equivalent to this form because we don't have any state income taxes.

Ahh I see. Interesting! Thank you for clarifying.
