Labor
is joining concerned parents, educators and Australians across the
country to send Mr Turnbull a clear message – don’t abandon our
public schools.In the chaos
and dysfunction the Liberals showed last week, one thing became
crystal clear – the Government’s $30 billion cuts are only the
beginning of their destruction of our school system. Mr
Turnbull revealed his hand, showing his only priority is to abandon
public education altogether. This would be devastating, divisive, and
push our children into a two-tiered school system.That’s
why every single Labor MP and Senator will be working with local
communities to fight for public education.The
Liberals want to distract and justify their cuts – but it’s not
that Mr Turnbull and his Liberals can’t afford to fund our schools
properly, it’s that they are choosing not to.Labor
has made difficult decisions on taxation and savings to fully fund
our Your
Child. Our Future plan
for Australia’s education system because we know that the future of
our children, and the future of our country, depends on investing in
education.Mr
Turnbull has shown he just doesn’t get the pressures families are
under – that’s why he can stand in the middle of a footy field
and casually say his Government wants to stop funding public schools.This
attitude shows how out of touch he is.When
Australians arrive at their local public school to vote this
election, they will know a vote for Labor is a vote for the future of
Australia’s children, and a vote for Mr Turnbull is a vote for $30
billion in cuts and the complete gutting of public schools.
