The minister for schools has indicated he will have the legislation ready for consideration by the parliament before the end of the year. He has indicated that he is working with the states and territories as to the funding arrangements that underpin that review and he has indicated that the government's final response to the review will be delivered shortly. In those circumstances it is too early to be able to determine what the funding arrangements will be until such time as those conversations are had with the states and territories. The government is determined that we can improve our education system right across this country and the government is determined to ensure that the states work with the Commonwealth to see that that happens.
