What a frightening exhibition we just witnessed from the member for Sydney and those opposite. It was frightening because they simply cannot add up. The alternative education minister cannot understand that, over the next four years, we will actually increase funding from $16.1 billion to $20.2 billion. I am not sure we want to have our next Deputy Prime Minister being unable to actually do the basic maths. How can she lead an education department when she cannot even do the math? What an embarrassment to the people of Australia that the alternative education minister cannot even add up.
