In an extraordinary turnaround that says far more about Kevin Rudd than it does the Exclusive Brethren, The Australian reports that the Australian Prime Minister has fallen for the blatant courtship conducted by the cult over the past few weeks.

They are called ‘exclusive’ because they are limited to people with lots of money, but we still have access to one of the best educational systems in the world.
But there are other ‘exclusive’ schools that are a bit of a worry.
A news report said that schools run by the secretive exclusive Brethren religious sect receive more than $18 million in government funding, including $2 million from the State Government.
