"Rotto favours private schools"
This story published today is white-hot. It's in the POST, and we can't understand why a ball-tearer like this isn't on the front, above the fold.
'The Rottnest ballot is random and computer-generated, but students at Shenton College are asking why their school keeps missing out on Leavers' Week accommodation.'
Oh yes. A bright Shenton College teenager is wondering why Scotch has at least 25 houses, PLC has 24 and Hale 27 - when the guvvy kids at SC have a mere three.
Hmmmm.
The Rottnest Island Authority wheeled out the big bureaucrat to speak on this one: Laurie O'Meara said any suggestion that RIA staff or any other person can influence the ballot is false.
"There is no, and there never has been, a ballot council of parent representatives in existence or any other external interference in the ballot process," Lazza said.
Will this be known as the Bulgarian effect?

Do a Chi Squared test. Or whatever the statistical test you do in such a situation.
ReplyDeleteI betcha we're talking LOTTO WINNING ODDS for that to be random. Complete farking bullshit. More power to the Shenton College lass/lad who did the digging.
Remember the Miss California / Miss USA kerfuffle just recently? And the *ahem* random questioners and questionees and questions. The screaming flamer, Perez Hilton, got to ask the Fundy[ish] Christian about gay marriage.
Random, my ass.
Right on Mr Big, go you Shenton College student. The next move, in case you read this, is to illicit support from the main news agencies. This is a story worthy of print.
ReplyDeleteWe hear you, Big and shazza.
ReplyDeletePerky shaz: are you incandescent with rage, given your recent obstacles?
Make a complaint to the CCC.
ReplyDeleteThe private school kids have the more expensive drugs to pass on as bribes.
ReplyDeleteIs screaming flamer a tautology? :)
