Coutts-Trotter headed around the S-bend

Well I doubt if you will see this anywhere else just yet but it is not exactly the most unpredictable of events. NSW Director General of Education Michael Coutts-Trotter will be a very early casualty of the state elections.In fact he may jump before then and no doubt will find another fabulously well paid job with the Commonwealth where the Labor inner circle take care of their own.
Don't be surprised if his replacement is a former Director General from the Greiner era who will stabilise things until a new DG can be found. Word is that the tories have the idea that someone with a background in Education would be good for the job. Amazing but good.
As a child of the 50s and 60s I used to think that conservatives were dopey and change was an irresistable force. Now I look at the changes that have been made from the mid 80s on and it's hard to find any that were for the better. Bring back the old DG. In fact bring back Bob Winder, he's not 90 yet. Bring back the inspectors and the list system. I'm not kidding here folks it was a vastkly superior system for leading schools.
