Given the windfall in property stamp duties, the real question is why havent State governments been investing any of that money in education?

State Governments supply most of the funding to government schools. The Federal Government supplies most of the funding to non-government schools. So students end up receiving about the same amount of
government funding, with government school students slightly in front.
