The federal government is going to poke their noses into the curriculum of High Schools. The public school system is run by the states. NSW, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia should collectively tell the federal government to bugger off. It is none of their business, and the feds best stick to policy in areas that the federal government is responsible for. Anything else is bad governance.
The anti-federalism has to stop. I am resigned to the fact that if we continue with the current political trends that we will end up with the same structures as the UK has, where there is one massive gob of a government in London and then a series of small entities who are unable to rival the central government in tax revenue or policy.
The only way it can stop is for the states to become federalist and start asserting themselves forcibly. The first step should be reclaiming income tax and making themselves self-sufficient in revenue. The federal government has no business in education anyway, including university and private schooling, let alone public schools which are the domain of the states.
