The federal government's multi-billion dollar education funding package is already facing stiff resistance from the New South Wales Liberal state government. The prime minister yesterday moved to quell a revolt from the Catholic sector, by announcing an extra four-point-five billion dollars will go to non-government schools. The new funding model will use parents' tax data — rather than census information — to calculate a school's wealth. But New South Wales is accusing the government of pitting public against private schools, and its education minister says he won't sign up to any deal which doesn't treat every school with fairness.
