I thank the honourable member for her question. I can advise the honourable member that all the 48 primary and secondary schools and the more than 23,000 students in her electorate of Chisholm will benefit from the government's record investment in schools. This is what my government is delivering for schools: fair needs based funding that is consistent across every state and territory and is transparent and people can see what they are going to get. They can see the basis of the funding. They do not have to worry or wonder about 27 secret deals done by the Leader of the Opposition in the Gillard government—stitching up one deal after another, heedless of whether it was consistent or fair, just trying to get another signature on another piece of paper. So far did he travel from the recommendation of David Gonski that Ken Boston himself, Gonski's co-panel member, described Labor's funding model as 'a corruption'—strong language.
