Abstract
The Queensland New Basics Project is currently a major experiment in task-oriented and transdisciplinary learning in Queensland schools (in Australia). There has been an abundance of promotional material for the Project, although as yet very little in the way of any independent critique. This paper attempts to provide such a critique, with the exposition of six critical issues for the Project.
