I thank the member for Macquarie for his question and I note his deep concern and interest in this matter. I can confirm for the member for Macquarie that the ACTU did indeed hold a national strike today, and that included a number of school teachers. I am concerned that this will impact on students, who will suffer as a result of the fact that teachers skipped school to attend this strike.
