| Greens continue to wrestle over Gonski 2.0 | |
| Paul Karp | |
| There’s a lively debate going on in the Greens about whether to support the Turnbull government schools plan. | |
| At a meeting on 24 May the Australian Young Greens adopted a form of words opposing the plan and praising MP Adam Bandt for his stance on it.In a letter signed by co-convenors, Axeris Sondyre and Robyn Lewis, the Young Greens said: | |
| The Australian Greens must reconfirm their support for the full funding allocation to public schools as recommended by the Gonski Review. | |
| At the 2016 election the Greens committed to the full Gonski. Our MPs and candidates joined the Gonski bus, spoke at public education events and signed up to support the campaign. | |
| What we campaigned for is in no way similar to the Turnbull Government proposal. What we supported was the implementation of the full Gonski for public schools, including years five and six of the funding model. | |
| We agree that the Rudd-Gillard Government’s School Funding Plan did not go far enough; however, the Coalition’s ‘Gonski 2.0’ is a complete insult to students, teachers and staff of public schools. | |
| It’s interesting they’ve referred to the Gonski bus and adopted the Australian Education Union’s language of the “full Gonski”. | |
| They have also said Bandt’s stance will “go some steps in resolving tensions with unions around Australia”. | |
| That’s where the greatest opposition is coming from and where the greatest blowback if the Greens try to let the policy through - the teachers union. | |
| The Australian Young Greens stand in solidarity with Australia’s teachers and their Unions, parents, student groups and many other community groups and call on the Federal Party Room to publicly reconfirm support for the full and original Gonski. | |

| The former university ANU economics professor believes the simple solution to cracking down on phoenixing is to give company directors an identification number. What happens at the moment is a dodgy director can shut down a company owing a lot of money to workers and contractors and start a new company without being chased. A slight difference in spelling on names, addresses or a wrong digit in a birthdate can make it easy for directors to hide the trail between companies. | The former university ANU economics professor believes the simple solution to cracking down on phoenixing is to give company directors an identification number.
