Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Let me remind Senator Carr, Mr President, that the former government committed to reinvest in the Investing in Our Schools Program. Nonetheless, the minister has stated that the trade training centres and the education revolution are expressly targeted at students in secondary education. If so, how will the government compensate primary school students, who will now be missing out on much needed funding for new classrooms, shade structures, air conditioning and other amenities that were funded under the Investing in Our Schools Program?
