Jet-A-one. Have wondered about the Gonski report so I took your advice. (I know it's disappointing when your own reference invalidates your own argument)
page 15, Figure 5. The level of state and federal finding provided to students in Catholic and other independent schools is lower.
Gov't schools - $10600
Catholic - $7700
Independent - $6200
I daresay the parents of the kids at Catholic and independent schools pay tax like everyone else. I 'd like to suggest they probably pay much more. So why should their children get less support?
Let's get the campaign start for equity in school funding!
