Can I say to the shadow minister: I was just about compliment him, so I did not want to be interrupted, because it is a rare day. The shadow Treasurer is out there saying, ‘Let’s cut funding to schools, to Building the Education Revolution.’ The shadow minister, the member for Sturt, at least has the wit to guard his language and not use that terminology. When he has been asked, he has said that funding should be maintained to schools. The opposition had better sort out its position on this—two different forms of words, and they voted against it.
