The real story behind the Gonski train wreck
THE train wreck over Gonski school funding is a template for the diabolical fiscal dilemma facing the Abbott government -- this was a case of cabinet's Expenditure Review Committee pushing for more savings but falling foul of the Coalition's election pledges. Christopher Pyne was personally given a letter by Tony Abbott that embodied the ERC's deliberations. He was given a tough job but he mishandled it, causing deep agitation within the PM's office. The ERC decided to commit to promised Gonski school funding for one year for the non-signatory states. Pyne's brief was to run a public operation and private negotiation to try to get savings from the total pool of Gonski money given that NSW and Victoria had been generously treated.

So next year we can look forward to another back flip over Gonski.
So what does abbott do,be fiscally prudent,or break election promises ?
Could he euthanise his beloved PPL scheme for starters?
