The party in power influences the funding distribution and the amount of funding supply from the Federal Government and the changing funding policies. The argument between two parties, makes the Gonski model not reliable and is possibly confuses people over what are current funding policies and are they still eligible to apply the funding at all. In some people’s views, it does not matter which party governs the Federal Government, as long as they make the commitment to come true and clarify for schools and students so they can understand how they can receive their right from the government.
