If a spokesman has said that, no, I do not agree with it and the reason that I do not agree with it is that it is wrong. Let me tell you what the actual figures are. There will be an increase of funding for schools of 4.1 per cent per year from next year to 2027. That annual increase of 4.1 per cent every year over 10 years will represent an increase in Commonwealth funding of 5.1 per cent per year every year to public schools, an increase of 3.5 per cent per year every year for Catholic schools and an increase of 4.1 per cent per year every year to independent schools. So every component of the sector receives a substantial increase in current levels of funding every year for 10 years. (Time expired)

I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
