Government Plots to Gut Faith-Based Schools

The left have long viewed public schooling as an essential tool by which to promote their ideas of social change. That’s why they hate private schooling.

A report commissioned by the Albanese Government recommends stripping religious schools of their tax deductibility status while making that same status available to activist LBGTQ groups.

Yes, you read that right. And no, I’m not making it up!

The Productivity Commission’s draft report ‘Future Foundations for Giving’ was commissioned by Treasurer Jim Chalmers in February and released last month.

It is - as former Liberal MP Nicolle Flint says - “a template for further eroding our Judeo-Christian values”.

The report argues that donations to private school building funds should not be tax deductible because it does not provide enough “public benefit”.

That’s an amazing conclusion when you consider that 1.4 million children (or 35 per cent of Australia’s total student population) are enrolled in non-government schools!

(The ALP’s primary vote at the 2022 election was 32 per cent - just sayin’)

Furthermore, non-government schools have had this tax deductibility status since 1954.

That the government would flirt with removing a benefit private schools have enjoyed for 70 years is no small thing.

The logic - if one can call it that - behind such a move is so wafer thin that there is little doubt this recommendation has zero to do with tax policy and everything to do with an ideological attack on non-government schools.
