And while the public schools of NSW are facing a large and growing shortage of teachers the NSW Government still feeds these schools $1.5 billion dollars in recurrent funding each year. #MoreThanThanks Dom feeds them $500 million in capital funding. Morrison chips in $1.9 billion in capital.

School funding is broken. Public schools are underfunded by billions of dollars meaning kids who need help miss out. The Federal Gov's funding priorities favour private schools and they give no capital funding to public schools. But here's just some of what they DO fund... Loretto Kirribilli
