Premier tells budget estimates hearing the ‘revenue derived from this measure will almost certainly be less that what has been forecast’
“Perhaps there should have been some better footnotes around this item in the budget. I’ll fully concede that point,” he told the public accounts and estimates committee.
“I’m not in a position to confirm what it will finish up at, but it will go up,” Andrews said of the threshold. He said the existing definition of a high-fee school was used to ensure the budget papers were not blank. Andrews said he speaks regularly to Catholic and independent schools and not once had they complained about the definition of low-fee and high-fee schools, which had been in place for some time.
