I refer to the budget measure Realising Our Potential: National Literacy and Numeracy Vouchers. How can the minister justify spending $457 million on a voucher scheme based on the failed tutorial voucher scheme, where only one-third of eligible students participated, and on the more recent, Reading Assistance Voucher program, which has been criticised for not using appropriate teaching methods in line with the government’s own teaching reading report?
