Some tin good FRANKSTON will have its own Good Friday Appeal fundraising event this year thanks to the efforts of the Savage family who are determined to give something back to the Royal Children’s Hospital who saved the life of their 9-year-old son when he was aged two. The Savages hope other families will rally round for a fun family day out on Friday 25 March to raise money for the Good Friday Appeal. See story page 6.

Education battlefront Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au FUNDING for state education is set to become a political battlefield again ahead of this year’s federal election. The Labor state government fired the latest salvo in the fight last week by releasing state education department statistics showing Victorian public schools will lose out on $1.1 billion in 2018 and 2019 unless the federal Coalition gov-

ernment agrees to fund the final two years of the Gonski plan. The department’s analysis listed each individual state school’s funding shortfall if the Gonski funding, officially known as the Better Schools program, is not forthcoming. Dunkley electorate schools – in the Frankston, Mornington and Carrum areas – look likely to miss out on $18.3 million in funding according to the state department figures.

Federal Labor candidate for Dunkley Peta Murphy said Labor will honour the Gonski six-year school funding plan if elected. “I regularly visit our local schools and speak with our principals. They tell me that targeted, needs-based funding is making a real difference,� she said. “The Turnbull cuts to Gonski funding is a broken promise. It will affect every child in every school, and those who need it most will be hit the hardest.�

Former prime minister Tony Abbott, when in opposition, declared the Liberal Party was “on a unity ticket� with Labor over Gonski funding before the 2013 federal election and promised to pitch in federal funding for the first four years of the six-year program jointly funded by the federal government and the states. The Labor state government is trying to pressure the Turnbull government to declare its public schools funding inten-

tions before the federal election. “This is funding that pays for things like extra support teachers in the classroom and special reading programs for kids falling behind,� Labor Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said in a statement last week. “Malcolm Turnbull’s so-called Ideas Boom will go completely bust if he keeps cutting funds from our schools, our kids and our future.� Continued Page 8
