I thank the honourable member for his question. There are 47 primary and secondary schools and more than 27,000 students in the honourable member's electorate of Tangney that will benefit from my government's record investment in Australian schools.

We have heard the Leader of the Opposition ranting and raving about school funding. He has been exposed as a phony and a fake. He has been exposed as the author of 27 secret deals, the terms of which he is not prepared to disclose.

Our school funding model is transparent and needs based. It means that schools with the same needs gets the same funding. Isn't that what needs-based funding is about?
