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.
So you think of those 3,000 schools none were doing expansions or renovations?
You think the budgets for those projects don’t run over years?
Or that when they do require those works that they will receive anywhere near the same level of funding?
