Well, that's good progress so far. Part A of the plan is largely complete. But we need to start getting on with Part B of the plan, which is to locate those schools somewhere better fitted and more appropriate. I understand that the Committee has yet to bring down a final recommendation but the leading candidate locations in include Riyadh, Outer Mongolia, and Manus Island, with a sizable minority faction still favouring the planet Mars.

Of course, it's all wrong-headed. It's not the extremist deludo children we should be sending into exile, it's their brain-dead parents.

Well, OK, they don't want our nut cases in Saudi or Mongolia or PNG, let alone Mars, and it wouldn't set a good precedent - citizens in a democracy are entitled to believe any daft nonsense they like - but at least we could stop giving the nutters money and respect, and certainly stop importing more of the buggers.

I vote for Mars.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
