The National Voice of Parents of Children in Australia's Public Schools and Their School Communities

"It is incomprehensible that our political leaders squandered an opportunity to make the most significant investment in Australia's future".

Australia's political leaders at today's COAG meeting have immensely disappointed the parents of Australia. The Federal Government's plan in response to the Gonski review into school funding (read it here) was rejected at today's COAG meeting. This morning ACSSO President, Peter Garrigan, stated that it was "time to walk the talk and stop playing political football with the lives of our children and the future of our nation!",but it looks as though our political leaders wish to continue playing.
