  • South Australia promises to scrap public school fees
    2026/03/01
    South Australian Labor leader Peter Malinauskas has pledged to eliminate public school fees if re-elected, a policy that would provide cost of living relief to 90,000 families across the state. The measure would abolish fees for materials and services in public primary and high schools, which currently cost up to $700 annually, at an estimated cost of $300 million over four years. This would be the first policy of its kind implemented in Australia, though it would not cover additional expenses such as excursions, uniforms and sporting equipment.
