ladies and gentlemen


meet Tom Switzer.

Tom, who might as well have "braying upper-class arsehole" tattooed on his forehead, is an Old Boy of St. Aloysius' College, a private school located in Milson's Point on Sydney Harbour.

St Aloysius currently charges fees of $11,000 per year for years 7-12, plus a $110 application fee, a $1400 Administrative Acceptace Fee, extra fees for "interstate and overseas tours" and "private music and instrument lessons", and various voluntary contributions.

Uniforms are extra, and include a $210 blazer for Years 11-12.

Tom currently lives in northern Sydney. He is a columnist with the Australian newspaper, and proof that you can and should judge people on their appearance.

He's also an expert on political issues, if political expertise is measured in the ability to seem like the punchline to a joke written by Charlie Brooker and Spitting Image in consultation with Class War. Tom is known for his defence of the Australian government's 'tough' policy on refugees. He stated that it was supported by "the broad cross-section of the Australian people."

He also stated that it may have been opposed by "the metropolitan sophisticates who live in inner-Sydney city."

Tom Switzer, man of the people, I salute you.

According to Yahoo finance, 11,000 Oz dollars is 15,730 US dollars.
Either university is cheap in Australia, or you have a skewed definition of upper class. My middle-class college in an office building was well over US$16,000 annually, and we didn't get any overseas tours.

Skewed definition surely
Although he just seems like an Australian equivalent for Tim 'Nice But' Dim.

Upper-class?
Of course he's not upper class.

He's Australian.
