Queensland joins other states by signing deal with commonwealth to fully fund public schools by 2034 The Queensland premier, David Crisafulli, is with the PM and has welcomed the agreement that gives an extra $2.8bn to the state’s public schools to 2034.

Crisafulli says this will bring generational reform, and highlights the challenges Queensland has in its schooling system.

It is a historic agreement … This means a lot to Queensland, and it means a lot because we’ve got some challenges in our schooling systems that other states don’t have. We are the most decentralized state. We’ve got a large portion of rural and regional and Indigenous schools.

He says the agreement was an opportunity “too good to miss”.

I wonder if this is Albanese saying “oi if you sign up for my education deal, I’ll throw a few extra $$ at Olympic stadiums.”
