In December, we provided an extra $1.1 billion for research, teaching and learning facilities, and an extra $500 million for TAFE. In February, we announced the biggest single investment ever made in Australian schools. That investment delivered new and upgraded classrooms, playgrounds, libraries, halls, science centres and language laboratories around the country. It benefited 9½ thousand schools, it helped a quarter of a million teachers and it helped 3½ million primary and secondary school students. (Time expired)
