I thank Senator Lundy for the question. Earlier this month, the Prime Minister and the Minister for Education launched Australia’s first ever national school curriculum. This is the culmination of a process that began in 2008, when all Australian governments agreed that, if we want to maintain Australia’s productivity and living standards and if we are to ensure that each and every young Australian has access to a quality education, one of the most important instruments of delivering quality education is the Australian curriculum. This is another critical milestone in the education revolution.
