With the NSW Department of Education and Training funding the legal defence of its contractor and corrupt Carenne Special School charity, Carenne Support you could be forgiven for thinking that perhaps the company is in a weak financial position. The truth is at the end of the 2009 financial year, it had $95,000 in the bank and was worth $180,000.
This cash in the bank was after it spent $48,050 on a new bus.
Why then is the department representing it in court? It's time that Carenne Support is let to stand on its own two feet instead of bludging off the public teat.
