‘ Nationally, Australia is an international laggard on education equality among our peers — we are 30th out of 38 OECD countries when it comes to fairly funded high schools, a 2018 UNICEF report found. So what went wrong? Gonski’s landmark reforms were watered down when the Gillard government promised Catholic and private schools they wouldn’t lose a dime, The Guardian explains. Then the Abbott government scrapped the 2017-18 public school funding boost. Then the Turnbull government created a 20% funding cap for public schools, leaving state governments to foot the bill. They didn’t. For private schools, the cap was reversed.’

@KentBylines One more cruel inhumane strategy, directly attributable to the vile influence, advice & encouragement of Australian off shore detention policies carried to extremes by #LNP and their PMs #Abbott, #Turnbull & #Morrison.
An everlasting disgrace and proof of the appalling iniquity of Right Wing governments & their donors who profited financially & contracted out to companies getting rich by cruelty & human misery.

As Liberal voters shrink in numbers, the need to reach beyond the "base" (however defined) to the centre is greater than ever. #Murdoch media can monetise narrow audiences with divisive hate filled bile - but it is too narrow for electoral success.
