Equal funding for private schools

Summary

Senator Burke argues that reducing funding for one category of school could raise constitutional concerns and says children deserve equal educational access; Senator Gilroy disagrees.

I wish to raise the issue of private schools. I do not agree with my colleague. I believe any decision to pay less to one area of education over another would give rise to constitutional issues.
