He interjects and says, ‘This is not a core element of reform.’ He says that the public reporting of school performances is not a core element of reform. We have engineered this agreement with the states and territories. We have increased the investment in schools. We have said in response to that that we want to see public reporting of school performance. Other states around the country are implementing these reforms, except New South Wales—and the reason for that is the rank opportunism of the Liberal Party of New South Wales. They have teamed up with—wait for it—the Greens. They have teamed up with the Greens in order to block this key education reform in New South Wales. He asked the questions: where is our reform agenda? Where is the implementation of the reforms? I would suggest that the member for Sturt hops on the telephone, rings Barry O’Farrell and tries to unstitch this piece of absolute policy obstructionism being engineered by the Liberal Party of New South Wales.

Finally, why is it they have suddenly dropped off their questions about Building the Education Revolution?
