The Queensland government has declared war on the ever-growing number of parents across the state who have decided to home-school their own children.

Recently in State Parliament, Education Minister Di Farmer introduced legislation to force parents to use the very thing they are trying to avoid, which is the National Curriculum.

Such is the depth of feeling that the parliamentary committee which is considering this bill has received 900 submissions, and 21,977 people have signed a petition objecting to the government’s proposed amendments.
