School funding war erupts in challenge to Turnbull

“We’re writing to alert you to the growing alarm among Independent schools caused by the disturbing signals emerging from public and political discussion about school funding,” they wrote.
Parents would react with “dismay and anger” if the government gave in to a political campaign by Catholic schools to extract a special deal, wrote Independent Schools of NSW chief Geoff Newcombe, Independent Schools Victoria chief Michelle Green and Independent Schools of South Australia Carolyn Grantskalns.
“We support more funding for all schools, regardless of sector, as long as there is a level playing field,” they said.
“This recent campaign, however, has used the rhetorical stereotypes of class warfare, impugned the integrity of staff in independent schools, and published ‘hit lists’ of selected independent schools.
“It would be a backward step if, as a result of this political pressure, we return to the funding wars, in which the stereotypes of ‘class warfare’ and ‘hit lists” re-emerge in practical form.”
