Madam Speaker, I can address the question by telling you that, as the Minister for Education and Training, I talk to the Prime Minister about school education all the time—not just the Prime Minister; I talk to the Treasurer about it; I talk to all my colleagues about it, because the cabinet is absolutely gripped by what we are trying to do in school education, not only in school funding but in terms of more autonomy, in terms of reforming the national curriculum, teacher training and parental engagement, I am always talking to my colleagues and consulting with them about how we can improve the outcomes for students, building on the catastrophic record of the Labor Party when they were in office at state and federal level over the last 10 years.
