The private sector taught the O'Farrell government a very public lesson over its plans to strip millions out of the education budget, write Anna Patty and Sean Nicholls.
讽刺的是,Piccoli部长对私立/天主教会学校的经费削减宣布的时间正好是Carrick爵士的传记【Carrick: Principles, Politics and Policy】(Graeme Starr著)新书发行的日子,Carrick爵士的传记本周的同一天有Carrick的得意门生前总理John Howard剪彩开卖。

前霍华德总理应该和John Carrick关系很铁,新闻里说霍华德算是Carrick的门生。
而JohnCarrick被誉为father of state aid(州教育资助之父),私立和天主教会学校真正的大恩人。
John Carrick今年已经94岁了,上周前总理霍华德出席主持了他的传记出版会,高度评价了他的导师Carrick和他对澳洲教育特别是对于新南威尔士州教育做出的贡献。霍华德说SUCCESS in politics comes from the struggle of ideas, not from "a battle of contrasting spin"。这算不算表达对于新州政府教育拨款预算问题上的不满呢?

你看新闻里说, Mr Howard pointed to "state aid" -- the idea that non-government schools also should receive public funding -- as an example of Sir John's conviction politics. Sir John championed this cause at a time when the Liberal Party was seen as a protestant bastion and, according to his biographer, Graeme Starr, it was possible there were more votes to be lost than to be won.
"Strategist to Sir Robert Menzies, politician and Cabinet Minister in the Fraser Government, mentor to John Howard, and one of the most influential and admired men in Australian politics, Sir John Carrick also played a key role in the introduction of government aid to parents of children at Catholic and non-government schools.
Although Catholic schools had been in operation for more than 100 years with a quarter of all Australian children attending these schools, they received no government assistance until 1963 when, thanks in a large part to the efforts of Sir John, the Menzies Government approved science and library grants for non government and Catholic schools"
我个人觉得在这里的意思, father of state aid = father of government aid.
Menzies搞的那个政策是联邦层面的.
state aid 也可以指中央政府拨款的, 因为国家也被称为nation-state的, 比如, 你觉得下面这句话中的Chinese state-owned里的state是什么意思呢? 不会是省或者州的意思吧, 是"国有" 这个意思对吧.
Canada's junior finance minister, Ted Menzies, said on Tuesday his constituents are split over Chinese state-owned CNOOC Ltd's $15.1 billion takeover bid for Canadian oil producer Nexen Inc (NXY.TO), with some backing and others opposing the deal.
