My question is to the Prime Minister. In an eleventh hour meeting last night, the Catholic Education Commission warned the education minister that this Liberal government would wear its cuts to Catholic schools 'like an albatross around its neck'. It said:

In the 50 years we have been dealing with government, we have never had a government not engage with us on major changes to policy.

Isn't it time that the Prime Minister dropped his cuts for good, instead of just postponing them from one party room meeting to the next?
