Julia Gillard (Lalor, Australian Labor Party, Deputy Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

I thank the shadow minister, the member for Sturt, for his question, and I thank the shadow Treasurer for his interjections, because it may cause him to reflect on the additional money we are putting into quality teaching, $550 million; the additional money we are putting into disadvantaged schools, $1.5 billion; the money we are putting into literacy and numeracy, $540 million; and it goes on. The shadow minister’s commitment to education is such that during the course of this year he has put one speech on his website. There are more speeches on his website about how the Liberal Party has lost its way than there are speeches about the future of Australian education.
