"It's Australian to do such things because, however uncivilised they may seem, it's human to do them."
May
"Parents should be encouraged to read to their children, and teachers should be equipped with all available techniques for teaching literacy, so the varying needs and capacities of individual kids can be taken into account."
Children
"Nothing is perfect. Life is messy. Relationships are complex. Outcomes are uncertain. People are irrational."
