NAPLAN 2025: WA Education Minister Sabine Winton says teachers facing more students with complex needs
WA Education Minister Sabine Winton has defended WA's performance in NAPLAN, saying teachers were grappling with an increase in primary school children with developmental delays and complex needs. The results, released today, found about one in three children across Australia did not meet the proficiency benchmark, meaning they were unable to read, write or solve maths problems at the basic level for their age. WA's Year 3 performance prompted concerns from education analysts, with 37.6 per cent failing to meet expectations for children their age in reading, and 38.5 per cent failing to meet the proficiency benchmark in numeracy. WA Education Minister Sabine Winton said it was pleasing to see the results remained stable compared to last year, and highlighted improvements in the Year 5, 7 and 9 cohorts from their average scores two years ago. 'And that really is where the power of NAPLAN, from my perspective, lies in terms of assessing improvements made over time,' she said. 'In all of our year levels, that has occurred.' On the Year 3 results, Ms Winton said schools were most focused on the students in the lowest band, who needed additional support. In Year 3 reading, the percentage of students needing additional support increased from 11.3 to 13.9 in two years. She said the WA Government was supporting early intervention through its Phonics Initiative, which includes a requirement introduced in 2023 for all public schools to undertake a Year 1 phonics assessment. The Government has also selected 350 schools to take part in a new small group tuition initiative for students who need extra support. 'We know that if we support and invest in the early years of education, it will have lifelong benefits, and that's why we will continue to drive change that will support that,' she said. 'Whether it's through trialling full time free kindy, providing more supports to schools, and I know personally as a teacher and anecdotally talking to many, many teachers in schools, we are seeing more children in the young years presenting to school with development delays, more complex needs, and that's why our government is investing in early childhood education.' This year marked the third NAPLAN (National Assessment Program — Literacy and Numeracy) under a new reporting system which scores students across four bands; needs additional support, developing, strong and exceeding. Students in the top two bands are considered to have met expectations for their age. Children in the 'developing' band have not met expectations for their age group but are working towards it. Ms Winton said WA's results were on par with the national average. 'I think it's a development that you're seeing right across Australia in terms of children with complex needs, with development delays, all sorts of things happening,' she said. 'We have had the COVID experience, and many kindy teachers tell me that that is also having an impact. So there's something happening at the national level, and I don't accept it's more exposed in Western Australia than anywhere else, but having said that, I accept that it is an area that governments need to continuously invest in.' Ms Winton said there was also a role for parents to play in connecting with teachers and reading to children from an early age. 'We have the conversation about getting back to basics in school, but we also need to get back to basics with our children in our community.' 'It's around, actually, all of us acknowledging there are many, many things that go into that magic pot in a child that then results in them achieving great outcomes in literacy and numeracy testing. 'Schools and the work that teachers do each and every day in their classrooms is critically important, but there is so much more.' Federal Education Minister Jason Clare said the national results showed encourage signs but there was more work to do. The Commonwealth has signed a $16 billion agreement with all states and territories to fix school funding, which is tied to reforms such as Year one phonics and numeracy checks. WA is the only State that has not signed up to numeracy checks.

Liberal Party's climate policy a huge headache for state and federal leaders
Political parties are funny beasts, as the Liberals were reminded on the weekend. To win elections they need to appeal to broad sections of the community, many of whom only have a passing interest in politics once every few years. Former Liberal Prime Minister John Howard famously referred to the party as a "broad church" for voters. And yet the heart of the parties — the kind of people who, for example, show up to Saturday morning meetings years out from an election — are not always representative of broader society. Both Labor and the Liberals can struggle at times because it is those very people who help shape policies — and more importantly, party brands in the eyes of ordinary voters. It can create headaches when, for example, that core group votes to abandon a commitment to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, continuing a debate which has dogged the party for years, as the WA Liberals' State Council did on Saturday. The group also voted to remove the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island flags behind the prime minister at press conferences and cut back on Welcome to Country ceremonies. The net zero issue has dogged the Liberals for years, with federal leader Sussan Ley setting up a working group to review the party's policy after its federal election drubbing. But the WA Liberals' State Council was not waiting for that review, nor was one of its most prominent voices who supported the motion. "We're part of a process," frontbencher Andrew Hastie, acknowledged on Saturday. "But I think it's pretty clear the South Australian division, the WA division, the Northern Territory division have adopted this position. "We'll see how the LNP goes in future weeks." The debate is shaping up as a thorny issue for Ley, who faces not only division between the party's membership and its elected members, but among its own MPs. In a sign of just how thorny the issue is, WA Leader Basil Zempilas had to spend part of his Monday morning defending his different position after attending the council meeting, but leaving before votes were taken. "The WA Parliamentary Liberal Party supports the status quo," he told reporters. "We are very comfortable with standing in front of the Aboriginal flag, we are very comfortable with the Welcome to Country and we support the status quo on the net zero targets." Party members who spoke to the ABC on the condition of anonymity to speak freely pointed out there was not necessarily anything unusual with that position. The views of the lay party — ordinary members who voted on Saturday — are not binding on elected MPs, who have the final say on the party's policies. Lay party motions are just one viewpoint to consider, they said. Also, they added, the motions were focused on the federal party, not the state. Which is all well and good, and gives Zempilas the ability to freely offer his own position without creating an even bigger storm. But it does little to solve the Liberals' key problem: the effect this splintering can have on public perception at both state and federal levels. Because the potential cost of this position is making it harder to win back the very voters who have deserted the party in recent years. At a state level, the party had bled voters to a more centrist Labor Party for a range of reasons, including it would seem the Liberals' drift further to the right on some issues. Federally, the cost has been even more clearly seen in seats taken by teal independents. The seat of Curtin, taking in Perth's leafy Western suburbs, had been as Liberal as they come until independent Kate Chaney swung the electorate in 2019 with a campaign heavily focused on climate. "I got the biggest swing in WA, five-and-a-half per cent. Pretty sure I got a strong endorsement," was Hastie's alternative view. For some though, there is also a view this issue is about more than just net zero, but ultimately the leadership of the party. While far from a universal view, there is little doubt having such a public show of disunity so early into Ley's leadership will only work against her prospects of staying in the job long-term. Hastie had been touted as a possible leadership contender after the May federal election, but bowed out early before Ley was installed. "I'd be foolish to say I don't have a desire to lead, I do have a desire to lead," he told the Curtin's Cast podcast at the time. "But the timing was all out for personal reasons." Politics is a game where little is done without an eye to the future prospects of each decision. Hastie, and others, clearly see some benefit in creating a clear point of difference with Labor over future climate policy. The question voters will decide in a few years' time is whether that is of benefit only among the party's core base, or helps win over electors more widely.

WA Liberals ‘applauded' for voting to axe Welcome to Country
Sky News host Danica De Giorgio praises the Western Australian Liberal Party for backing a motion to reduce Welcome to Country ceremonies. 'I applaud the WA branch for actually coming to this decision, but I also want to say a big well done to Michaelia Cash, who has taken a really strong stance on this,' Ms De Giorgio said. 'What we need is actual leadership like that, for someone to have the courage to say yes, I'm going to stand up for what I believe in.'
