On 27 August 2008, the Australian Education Union released a report it commissioned from Dr Jim McMorrow entitled 'Reviewing the evidence: Issues in Commonwealth funding of government and non-government schools in the Howard and Rudd years'.
Based on current budget projections, Dr McMorrow found that federal government schools funding will be cut in real terms within three years if the Rudd Labor Government continues the Howard Government's funding model.
Dr McMorrow recommended an immediate investment of at least $1.5 billion to restore federal public school funding to 1996 levels in order to ensure equality of opportunity.
A Lobby Day will be held at Federal Parliament prior to the schools funding bill going before parliament. Individual Federal Labor and National Party MPs will be lobbied in their parliamentary offices by at least two teacher constituents from their electorates.
Supporters of public Education can also lobby politicians using the on-line pro forma protest letter below.
