As a public servant [teacher] for 35 years I received no such benefits [nor did my wife] and agree that even Labor's PPL is overly generous.
But you know as well as I do that public servants have employment packages that look pretty sick relative to equivalent ones in the private sector; so why single them out!
Governments should be investing in areas such as core infrastructure that private industry fails to build for us [eg. the NBN and rail systems].
Government should also assist those unable to support themselves; pensioners, the disabled and disadvantaged for example. But using taxpayer funds to back private choices such as a decision to proliferate and to send your kids to government funded 'private schools' is an economic bridge too far for me.
