Fix this textPublic Education Day
Fix this textby Dennis Long
Fix this textFederation has chosen March 15 for a major public
Fix this textactivity to highlight the positive role of public educa-
Fix this texttion in Australian society and to dramatically outline
Fix this textthe perils facing public education as a consequence of
Fix this textthe funding policies of the Federal Government.
Fix this textPublic Education Day will:
Fix this text• highlight the place of public eduction in our society
Fix this text• indicate the need for public education to be properly
Fix this textfunded by Federal governments
Fix this text• publicise the inadequate and unfair education funding
Fix this textpolicies of the Howard Government.
Fix this textThere will be a central event in Sydney and leaflets will
Fix this textbe distributed from schools and colleges across the state
Fix this textin the afternoon.
Fix this textFederation is seeking the support and involvement of
Fix this textthe parent and principal organisations for Public
Fix this textEducation Day as well as prominent supporters of pub-
Fix this textlic education.
Fix this textThe office of Education Minister John Aquilina has
Fix this textindicated support.
Fix this textFederation will co-ordinate visits to the local elec-
Fix this texttorate offices of Federal Members of Parliament to
Fix this textdeliver a statement of support for public education call-
Fix this texting for proper funding by Federal governments.
Fix this textPublic Education Day is a part of a national cam-
Fix this textpaign co-ordinated by the Australian Education
Fix this textUnion (AEU). Activities in other states will take
Fix this textplace on the same day.
Fix this textFederation is seeking to gain widespread support
Fix this textfrom the rest of the trade union movement for the
Fix this textpublic education campaign, in general, and March 15
Fix this textin particular.

Fix this textState Grants Bill nears
Fix this textpassage
Fix this textby Sally Edsall
Fix this textAt the time of going to press
Fix this textFederal Parliament had not passed
Fix this textthe schools funding bill, known as
Fix this textthe States Grants Bill, but passage
Fix this textseemed inevitable.
Fix this textOnce Federal Parliament
Fix this textresumed sitting on November 27 a
Fix this textseries of messages was sent back
Fix this textand forth between the Senate and
Fix this textthe House of Representatives.
Fix this textThe Senate, where the Howard
Fix this textGovernment does not have a
Fix this textmajority, kept insisting that the 25
Fix this textamendments which it had carried,
Fix this textincluding abolition of the
Fix this textEnrolment Benchmark
Fix this textAdjustment (EBA) mechanism
Fix this textand re-distributing the increased
Fix this textfunding from category 1 schools to
Fix this textdisadvantaged students, should
Fix this textremain.
Fix this textThe House of Representatives,
Fix this textwhere the Government does have
Fix this textthe numbers, would not support
Fix this textthese amendments.
Fix this textDemocrats Senator Lyn Allison
Fix this textsaid: “The Democrats will insist
Fix this texton every single one of the 25
Fix this textamendments made by the Senate
Fix this textearlier this month [November].”
Fix this textBut it was expected the Bill
Fix this textwould be passed, just prior to
Fix this textParliament rising for the
Fix this textChristmas recess, as the ALP has
Fix this textmade it known that eventually it
Fix this textwould allow the Bill passage
Fix this textthrough the Senate unamended.
Fix this textFederation congratulates those
Fix this textteachers, principals and parents
Fix this textwho have lobbied the politicians
Fix this textand formed public education lob-
Fix this textbies around the State.
Fix this textThe Public Education funding
Fix this textdebate is now firmly on the politi-
Fix this textcal agenda.
Fix this textThe union will:
Fix this text□ Continue to lobby all political
Fix this textparties to adopt a pro public edu-
Fix this textcation stance in the lead up to the
Fix this textnext Federal election. In particu-
Fix this textlar, the Federation will continue to
Fix this textpressure the ALP to put public
Fix this texteducation at the centre of its edu-
Fix this textcation policies.
Fix this text□ Seek to gain widespread sup-
Fix this textport from the rest of the trade
Fix this textunion movement for the public
Fix this texteducation campaign, in general,
Fix this textand the March 15, 2001 (Public
Fix this textEducation Day) action in particu-
Fix this textlar.
Fix this text□ Liaise with ethnic newspapers
Fix this textand radio stations to further media
Fix this textcoverage of this issue.

Fix this textParliamentary games
Fix this textIn one of those political games in
Fix this textwhich Parliament indulges from
Fix this texttime to time, a series of messages
Fix this texthave been sent back and forth
Fix this textbetween the Senate and the House
Fix this textof Representatives, indicating the
Fix this textUpper House did not support the
Fix this textSenate’s amendments to the
Fix this textStates Grants Bill.
Fix this textJust why this game continues
Fix this textto be played is one of those series
Fix this textof political tactics which remain
Fix this textshrouded in mystery, because the
Fix this textALP has made it known publicly
Fix this textall along that it intends eventually
Fix this textto allow the Bill’s passage
Fix this textthrough the Senate unamended.
