I am not going to prolong this overall discussion in relation to a schooling resource body. I think I have given reasonably clear indications so far that we prefer the more independent model that we have proposed subsequently. I appreciate that the Greens are attempting to improve what has been proposed here in government amendments, but our position will be to oppose these Greens amendments and oppose the government's amendments, because we prefer the more independent body that we will be proposing in subsequent amendments. I have also indicated that we are happy to entertain further amendments along the lines of the discussion that occurred here earlier, were these measures to fail.

Aside from that, probably the only outstanding issue I have, which I hope the minister can address, follows from the discussion earlier from Senator Lambie about what funding we are looking at for the National School Resourcing Board, I would like to understand where that funding is coming from. Minister, can you take me to the provisions that account for those funds to be made available for this board?
