Thank you, Senator Allman-Payne. This is a matter that you have asked questions about in the past, and my answer remains that there is only one way that public schools in this country are going to get the funding they deserve, and that is through the election of a Labor government. What we saw over 10 years was cuts to public education funding, and we have made very firm our commitment to deliver public schools with the funding that they need.
