In a stunning political move, the government seized the Gonski high-ground yesterday by announcing Gonski 2.0, another review into how school funding is spent.

This is because ‘I give a Gonski’ has become the equivalent of ‘I am holier than thou’ in education debates.

By having David Gonski appear with the Prime Minister and Education Minister for a press conference, the government neutralised the campaign for more ‘Gonski funding’.
