At this point, I think Tony Abbot's party is full of stereotypical movie villains twirling their mustaches.

The Coalition is considering reintroducing a cap on university places despite emphatically ruling it out last year while in opposition.

The minister for education, Christopher Pyne, has confirmed he is considering reintroducing the cap on university places as well as abolishing the compulsory fee paid by students to fund campus services and scrapping the targets that were introduced by Labor to allow more disadvantaged students to enter university.

Anti-education: check.  Anti-poor: check.  Add the anti-science policies I've already discussed, and it reminds me of the line from Pratchett: the only thing that depressed him more than his own cynicism, was that sometimes he wasn't cynical enough.
