Liberal MP in funding U-turn David Southwick. LIBERAL MP David Southwick has been caught out promising funding to Jewish schools and then deleting all evidence of the online announcement. On November 12 the Australian Council of Jewish Schools thanked Mr Southwick for a promise of funding to help schools develop emergency management plans to improve safety. Mr Southwick's pledge came a day after Labor promised $600,000 to help schools develop emergency management plans to prepare for incidents resulting from racial or religious intolerance. A statement from the council thanked Multicultural Affairs Minister Matthew Guy and the member for Caulfield, Mr Southwick, who had "announced at the Melbourne Holocaust Centre this morning specific funding to address the emergency management procedures in our schools." Last week Mr Southwick tweeted the announcement saying "Reaffirming @LiberalVictoria support for social cohesion and education with $1.8m for Jewish community." But the tweet has since been deleted. There is no evidence of a $1.8 million announcement for the Jewish community in any Liberal Party press releases or on Mr Southwick's website. Originally published as Liberal MP in funding U-turn
