I can't find any statistics for cost of education for public school for WA for 2013/14 so I will for simplicity guesstimate it is $20,000/child based on this NSW article.

So if someone with three kids was sponsored for three years and earning under the threshold and they didn't need to contribute any school fees, after three years it would cost taxpayers $180,000 for one family.

Why is this not considered in the budget?
Do we really badly need to employ overseas workers to work in large chain supermarkets, etc, or can someone locally be employed? It appears to be a huge expense and doesn't make any sense to me.
