Crikey

Mark Latham has identified 67 high-fee schools for his funding
hit list, but for many these “private” or “independent” schools are
just nameless bastions of privilege. So Crikey is putting a human face
to the funding furore with a list of the most celebrated (and
notorious) alumni from schools on Latham’s hit list - as well as some
of those he left off. Send your suggestions into boss@ crikey.com.au
