I refer the honourable senator directly to the school funding estimator that has been published. It shows the 2017 funding for this school is $6,892. That grows in 2018 to $7,307 and in 2027, $11,891. That is a significant increase for that school. Of course it is a school that is part of a system, and that system overall receives a significant increase as well at a faster rate than most other states and territories because, once again, South Australia signed up to a dud deal at the time under the Gillard government. We will rectify that by ensuring that all states and territories are treated equally according to the need of the students and schools within their system.
