It is not surprise that the Abbott Government has dumped the Gonski educational reforms. The LNP was never in favour of need of the students based funding for schools. Pyne has always been of the view that the SES model wasn't broke and so didn't need fixing.
Pyne's claims that their new model will be “flatter, … simpler, … fairer [model] … and it will be equitable for students so that the school funding reaches those who need it the most” and that the funding envelope will remain the same foreshadows a return to the old Howard SES funding model.

Pyne considers the SES model wasn't broke even though this is the model privileged the wealthiest and most elite private schools at the expense of the working class and the poor. The view of education premised on i a return to teaching the basics through “chalk ‘n’ talk”; a rejection of student-centred learning; more significantly, little regard for public schools and their teachers. The consequence is to entrench advantage and disadvantage of a deeply inequitable system.

According to C. Pyne Australia does not have an equity problem with school education of Australian education. he's talking nonsense.
