My question is again to the Prime Minister on education. I again refer to the OECD report card 2007. Prime Minister, isn’t it the case that expenditure on early childhood education in Australia is just 0.1 per cent of GDP compared to an OECD average of 0.5 per cent, placing us equal last for the eighth year in a row? Prime Minister, in the absence of an education revolution, isn’t the nation at risk of leaving our children with a worse education system from the one the nation inherited?
