Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I refer the minister to his answer and to the Tasmanian Liberal state education minister's additional statements, where he said that he 'fears Tasmanian school children could be entrenched in disadvantage should the federal government not commit to two years of Students First funding.' Does the minister agree with his Liberal state colleague and what plan does he have to prevent entrenched disadvantage for Tasmanian school children?
