MALCOLM TURNBULL CUTS FUNDING FOR SCHOOLS IN BENNELONG 

Speaking in the Parliament today, Liberal MP John Alexander was caught out trying to hide the cuts Malcolm Turnbull has made to schools in Bennelong.

Official data from the NSW Government shows schools mentioned by Mr Alexander will lose funding because of Malcolm Turnbull’s cuts.

Over the next two years alone:

• Carlingford High gets a $750,000 cut.
• Epping Boys High gets a $698,000 cut.
• Truscott Street Public School gets a $223,000 cut.
• Ermington Public School  gets a $324,000 cut.
• Ermington West Public School gets a $145,000 cut.
• Melrose Park Public School gets a $125,000 cut.

Mr Turnbull is using school funding numbers that have been deliberately designed to disguise his cuts.

Even the Liberal state government in NSW has warned principals the school funding figures Malcolm Turnbull is publishing cannot be trusted.

Parents, teachers, and schools deserve the truth. 

Malcolm Turnbull is cutting $22 billion from schools to pay for his $65 billion big business tax cut.

What kind of Prime Minister rips money off schoolkids to give it to multinationals?

You can’t trust the Liberals on schools.
