My question is to the Prime Minister. The executive director of the Catholic Education Commission of Victoria, Mr Stephen Elder, has said about the Prime Minister's schools policy, and I quote: 'If this is supposed to be a needs-based funding model, why will some of the most disadvantaged public schools in the country lose money?' How is it fair that the Prime Minister’s $22 billion cut leaves the neediest students worse off, or is the Prime Minister also going to accuse Catholic educators of being dishonest in this debate?
