I have tried to avoid discussing current issues on this forum recently because all it does is seem to cause problems, including problems for me. But given this posting I can’t really avoid discussing things to some extent.
This graphic which appeared in the Herald Sun is not particularly accurate. For a start, as has been pointed out it was accompanied by an article that stated corporal punishment was banned in all schools in Victoria seven years ago, and in government and Catholic schools in Victoria in 1985. Every single part of that statement is wrong.
