Infuriating. In this form, private education is an absolute cancer.

    I get the point but it’s not a great statistic to cite. Most schools don’t expand every year so they can have spent $0 on new facilities in 2023.

        I said “I get the point”. This means that I know about the disparity but that’s just a bad way to illustrate it. You could say that when you first got a dollar from your parents, you became richer than 500 million people because at least that many are in debt right now. Or that the richest 1% bought more houses this year than 20 million Australians because most people buy 0 houses in any given year. I would find it more useful to pick a statistic that cannot be zero, such as annual budget.
