I did not know whether to laugh or cry as I read your story (“Intensive support: Budget to offer to retrain Australians in new skills”, May 11). Haven’t we heard this before? How is this ‘you beaut’ training or retraining going to happen? More dodgy, rip-off private so-called training colleges that have a history of defrauding taxpayers of eye-watering amounts of money?
We did have a wonderfully comprehensive national TAFE system with specialised permanent teachers. Then the system was constantly restructured and dismantled until it became a shadow of its former self, depending on casual and part-time teachers who work in unpredictable, unreliable employment. All in the name of privatisation.

1972 - The Rolling Stones released their classic double-album Exile On Main Street, the second album on their own label. A sprawling, weary double album encompassing rock & roll, blues, soul, and country. Recording for the album began in 1969 in England during sessions for Sticky Fingers and continued in the summer of 1971 at a rented villa in the South of France named Nellcôte while the band lived abroad as tax exiles. A collage of various images, the album s artwork, according to Mick Jagger, reflects the Rolling Stones as runaway outlaws using the blues as its weapon against the world , showcasing feeling of joyful isolation, grinning in the face of a scary and unknown future . The album would prove to be one of the band s most influential.
