My question is to the Prime Minister. The Reverend Anthony Fisher, the Catholic Archbishop of Sydney, has said of government education policy:

… the government's new "capacity to pay formula" will force fee rises of over $1000 for a very significant number … of the Catholic primary schools in Sydney … For some areas of Sydney fees could more than double. Modelling in other states has found the same.

Does the Prime Minister agree or disagree with the archbishop?
