Keep your Gonski promise Mr Abbott

[donnashuggy]

If you give a gonski apparently there is a petition on the gonski site.

You can see what your school stands to gain on the site:

So Mr Abbot can complain about broken promises and do the same, unchallenged?

Why you ask?

Well I searched my daughters school and just over 4 million in funding that's why.

How many years ago DY?

There is a huge difference, mm. Introducing a price on carbon is good for our future. Slashing Gonski reforms is bad for our future.

 These figures were calculated by the previous federal government to set out what each public school in Australia could expect under Gonski according to the agreements signed (NSW, SA, VIC, TAS, ACT), or being negotiated (WA, QLD, NT) up until the federal election was called.

[*crikey*mate*]

and what if those figures are not enough to solve the problems that the Gonski report indicated?

What if spending that money is futile when there is a possibility that it could be used more effectively, when administered differently than what was originally proposed?

Afterall, the Rudd Government estimated the cost of National Bowel Cancer Screening to cost $29 million.

So far it has cost approximately $99 million, and it has not even been completely rolled out yet.

Donna, the keywords in that quote you provided is "could expect", interesting that it isn't "would get", or "will get".

That sounds like nothing more than a weather report - "it might rain" LOL

JMK do a little studying, what we  (Australia) does,  is insignificant, then take the trouble to research and think.

Ha!
