Thank you for that question. The truth and the facts matter. Let me share with all of those in this chamber the truth of this matter. First of all is a funding comparison between government and non-government schools. The Commonwealth funding for government schools to 2022 has doubled—in fact, just over doubled at 100.7 per cent—since 2013. We will see a further increase to 2029 of 46 per cent. The facts matter. We have funded government schools more than those on the other side of this chamber ever did.

Additionally, from 2013 to 2029, government schools funding will have increased by 192 per cent. This government, between 2013 and 2029, will have provided a nearly 200 per cent increase for government schools. (Time expired)
