Tell us about the tertiary system working clbutt people could attend BEFORE Menzies, you blithering idiot!? B^D
None?
Congratulations, you have just confronted the reality that Pig Iron Bob created the University system which THOUSANDS of working clbutt kids subsequently attended. If only you had been bright enough to win one of those scholarships, BASED ON MERIT, you might have actually learnt something and not been such a pompous, loudmouthed GIT! B^D
Well DUH! B^D Taxpayer funded handouts always are, you cretin! B^D
The point is, for the first time there were MERIT based subsidies for the poor to be tertiary educated.
No one is more surprised than me that it was Pig Iron Bob who had the vision to do it, but unlike you I am not completely blinkered by ideological prejudice, I have the integrity to give credit where it is due, even to a despicable poopig. (not you, Menzies, you have never achieved anything B^)
No Kiddin! B^D What a f***ing genius you are! Poor people have less chances than rich people! What a revelation! B^D
Now that you have thrilled yourself with that tiny brain fart, consider the relevant point; They had MORE of a smaller chance than before, something is ALWAYS a big improvement on nothing, you f***wit
Because at last it was a possibility.
The other avenue was teaching studenships, but that meant that a lot of people who didn't really want to teach, often were not good at it, and probably should never have done it, took that path.
Your ignorance indicates you never made the grade, or had parents willing to make the sacrifices.. how sad for widdle Ned.. no wonder he is such a rabid, bitter jealous sook. B^)
Ned accepts that the traditional 'cultural diversity which has been part of our true-blue culture from the outset' is called multicultural:

Ned finally admits that the phrase "cultural diversity which has been part of our true-blue culture from the outset" is a reference to 'multiculty'! B^D
It is correct, and people have been trying to tell Ned for years, that when one refers to "cultural diversity which has been part of our true-blue culture from the outset, we are talking about the multicultural bandwagon, rolling along from the OUTSET, .. and Ned just climbed on it! B^)
Well done Ned, you have finally accepted the common usage and confirmed that Australia's true-blue society has been multicultural from it's inception!!!! B^D
You can read about the true-blue view of Australia's multicultural past which Ned now accepts, and it's vibrant modern expression, in a range of fair dinkum websites:
