Please take the time to watch and listen to it.

Two years ago the Northern Territory Government Department of Education and Training sent around a circular:
GUIDELINE
COMPULSORY TEACHING IN ENGLISH FOR THE FIRST FOUR HOURS OF EACH SCHOOL DAY

This policy was the final nail in the coffin of the already long sabotaged and underfunded bilingual education programmes, of which only nine remained in the Northern Territory.

From Wikipedia: Contrast refers to a type of distinction made between two (sometimes more) concepts —either as a simple or as a distinction with some quantifiable (often sharp) degree of difference

Furthermore: “describing the difference(s) between two or more entities”

Another friend found a reference to something I wrote in 1976. I’d forgotten all about it, and luckily another friend had kept a copy. (See Below) A third of a century has passed, judge for yourself how much has changed. To quote our present Prime Minister: how much we have “moved forward”. Another excuse for us Australians to be proud of our leaders and smug about how much better we are than our cousins across the Tasman.

And here is another excuse to put on some great music: today (27 November) is Jimmy Hendrix’s Birthday.
