Sure, when Senator Brandis lines up the support for Mr Abbott's cuts to public education he will recognise that 85 per cent of Indigenous children attend public schools; 83 per cent of children from remote and regional areas attend public schools; 80 per cent of students from the lowest income brackets attend public schools; and 78 per cent of students with a disability attend public schools. These are the people you are attacking when you say there is an injustice in the level of support for public education. (Time expired)
