OZschwitz: Rudd increases funds for mystic Brethren cult

THE Federal Government was criticised yesterday for increasing funding for Exclusive Brethren schools to an estimated $62 million over the next four years.

The Government has chosen to continue with the previous government's controversial funding formula for private schools, which will deliver an additional $24.6 million to the Brethren schools over the next four-year funding cycle, according to budget projections.

Recurrent funding for the M.E.T School in Meadowbank will increase from $16.1 million over four years to an estimated $27 million for the next four-year cycle.

A NSW Greens MP, John Kaye, said the Federal Government would provide $26.2 billion in taxpayer dollars to private schools between 2009 to 2012 ''without questioning the quality of education or the type of behaviours they support''.

''In August 2007 Prime Minister Kevin Rudd referred to the Exclusive Brethren as an extremist cult and sect,'' Dr Kaye said.
