OECD ranks Australia as one of the wealthiest countries, yet public schools remain underfunded by $6.5bn annually. Fully funding them could grow GDP by up to $74bn over 20 years. Our leaders have the means, time to show courage. #fundpublicschools theeducatoronline.com/k12/ne…

Visited my Alma Mater Fort St High yesterday with another of its former students, Michael Kirby. The government should be investing more in public education. Whilst the gap in facilities between private and public is vast, what public schools are asking for is not. They deserve the support needed to provide the best education possible.

Chatting to @Dan_Bourchier about my concerns with the major party stitch up on electoral reform that will lock out more community-backed independents. They're clearly terrified of minority govt & being forced to put people before politics.

If we are to subsidise private schools, we should require commensurate obligation. The current system is concentrating disadvantage and segregating our kids. @DavidPocock @senatorpennyqld @JacquiLambieTAS @ASPALeaders
ASPA@ASPALeaders16 Oct 2024
Yes to more focus on equity in the debate @isaschools - if you accept public subsidy, you should accept the same regulation of fees, and inclusive enrolment from a prescribed catchment, as public schools. Thus choice AND fairness abc.net.au/listen/programs/r…

I’m really hoping the story on school funding this time next year will restore trust in a federation that works in the public interest. theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Labor has proposed a public school funding boost – states, crossbenchers and the Greens want more....

The federal government says states and territories must ‘chip in’ to close the gap – but they say they’ve done the ‘heavy lifting’
