ABC News his school would lose $1.4 million over the next two years from the amount Labor offered when in office in 2013. “We have programs in place that support Aboriginal students, students from non-English speaking backgrounds and students with disabilities,” Mr McKay said. “We are a very complex school — we’re one of the most disadvantaged in South Australia. So, what we’ve been able to do with the Gonski money is put in a whole range of programs that support all of those students,” he said.

The Government schools will receive an extra $18 billion over the next decade, when compared to its previous budget.]]>
