THE cash-strapped Newman Government gave $200,000 to the
production company behind Big Brother to ensure the TV reality show
returned to the Gold Coast, three months after scrapping the Queensland
Literary Awards.

Forget Brave New World, forget the new education budget, this is the real world - well the real reality world of TV. After all we don't need books, certainly not ones of any literary merit, not when we can have Big Brother and all the cultural and educational cookies that comes with the show.
So glad we have our priorities right.
