This working paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the implementation of the Gonski funding model by the Labor Government in 2013. It is the fourth in a series of papers on the model and its demolition by successive Coalition Governments.

A previous paper reviewed the Gonski Report. Two other papers covered the sabotage of the Gonski model by the Abbott and Turnbull Governments and the abandonment of needs-based funding by the Morrison Government.
