But now schools can elect to have non-religious person fill the role as a secular worker and still use the $20,000 grant scheme. Chaplains have really become budget student counsellors under the program. Since 2006, it has been rolled out to 2681 schools, 28 per cent are public schools. While the school applies for a chaplain to DEEWR, the funding is administered to a third party employer, in most cases a Christian organisation like Access Ministries who then engage a person to be a chaplain at the school.  Chaplains have a set of guidelines from the Government which prohibit proselytising, which they adhere to by signing a code of conduct.  feedback@thepunch.com.au (Luke Williams) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/why-the-christian-right-dont-like-gillard/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/why-the-christian-right-dont-like-gillard/#item6737 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 18:45:15 +0000 Luke Williams | Author bios | The Punch http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/a-bogans-revenge-10-signs-youre-an-inner-city-tosser/ I grew up in the outer suburbs in a Mcmansion with upwardly mobile Howard-voting parents and garden view to ‘Fountain Lakes’ shopping centre. Boganism is in my gene pool. A new blog called Things Bogans Like  (inspired by Stuff White People Like) attempts to map out exactly what does and does not constitute Aussie Boganism. The site is run by a group of young men who live in inner-Melbourne, go to music festivals and art galleries. Certainly, the fact many working-class people now have money and live in big houses has been making the intelligentsia uncomfortable for quite some time. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Luke Williams) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/a-bogans-revenge-10-signs-youre-an-inner-city-tosser/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/a-bogans-revenge-10-signs-youre-an-inner-city-tosser/#item1657 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:00:33 +0000 Luke Williams | Author bios | The Punch
