Labor has failed to explain its key education policies and has admitted to not costing billions of dollars’ worth of promises.
Minister for Education and Early Learning Sarah Mitchell expressed concerns over Shadow Education Spokesperson Prue Car’s inability to answer basic questions on Labor’s key education policies.
“Labor’s key election promise is scrapping the public sector wages cap, and they have just admitted that they have not costed it,” Ms Mitchell said.
“This leaves parents in the dark about what will be cut from their child’s education so that Chris Minns can give a blank cheque to union bosses.”
Labor has also failed to articulate the cost breakdown of their other key promise, a four-year $400 million Education Future Fund.
“Prue Car was simply asked to detail the breakdown of their fund, which she could not do – nor could she confirm a single policy it would deliver,” Ms Mitchell said.
“Parents are being told this promise will somehow fund schools, while providing free tutoring for all students, more school counsellors, and more teachers, however Labor has no detail on how this will be achieved.
“It is completely unacceptable that Labor is not able to detail their key promises and their costs to the people of NSW, Chris Minns needs to tell parents what their families would miss out on under Labor.
“Under a Liberal and Nationals Government, parents have certainty and students have a brighter future.”
