( Here goes, politics and religion in one post
)
During the last week here, the state govt have started changing the rules re the teaching of religion in schools.
As part of the discussion, the interviewer was trying to find out how many children were in school and how many actually go to the classes. When pushed, the (IIRC) education minister finally said that "around 30,000" go to the classes and it was approx 20% of the total school enrolments.
Neither the interviewer or the minister could then figure out how may kids in total that meant.
Just for even more fun, the interviewer asked one of the regulr "phone in stockbrokers" later in the show, and he got it wrong as well.
