My question is to the Prime Minister. Does the Prime Minister agree with the National Catholic Education Commission, which said today that the government's own modelling of its schools plan confirms—and I quote—'hundreds of Catholic schools will be allocated less Commonwealth funding next year, dozens of schools will be hit with a funding cut of 50 per cent or more next year, and almost 200 schools will be allocated less funding in 2027 than they are this year'? These are the department's own figures. Those figures cannot be disputed, and they cannot be manipulated.
