My question is to the Acting Prime Minister. New South Wales Nationals Minister for Education Adrian Piccoli said after the government's $80 billion cut from schools and hospitals:

Schools in regional areas, as well as disadvantaged and Aboriginal students, will be the hardest hit.

Acting Prime Minister, when will the Nationals in this parliament stand up for regional Australia? Why do you keep supporting cuts in this budget to regional Australia?
