Senator Wong, the question for you and for the Labor Party is: are you going to support the fairness measures in this budget?

Are you going to—among other things—support the fairness measures for school funding; whereby the vision of David Gonski—which you embraced in 2011 and then abandoned when it came to the implementation phase—has been revived by this government so that all schools will be funded on a needs basis in a nationally consistent, completely transparent funding model—are you going to support those measures, Senator Wong? Are you going to support all of the other fairness measures in this budget or are you going to block them? (Time expired)
