WA Liberals claim victory after Labor ‘backflip’ on education trust

Western Australia's government will allocate nearly $40 million from the Public Education Endowment Trust to public school upgrades and maintenance after repealing the century-old trust act. Education Minister Sabine Winton said the funding honors the trust's original purpose supporting public schools. The opposition claims victory, saying the government reversed its previous position after months of pressure.
