I think it is really important in debates like this that we actually put some facts on the table. The last Brumby government had in their forward estimates $109 million for the provision of kindergartens. That is what the last Brumby budget said. Guess what the first Baillieu government budget said with respect to kindergartens? It said $9 million. The Baillieu government in their first budget cut $100 million out of the kindergarten budget in Victoria. That is so that they could get around to funding their uncosted election commitments.
This government is very proud—
