Thanks, Senator Allman-Payne. The government won't be supporting this amendment. Enhanced transparency measures in the bill and the ministerial report to parliament provide greater levels of accountability. The Better and Fairer Schools Agreement will build trust in the system, showing the public how funding is distributed for the benefit of students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Further, education ministers will review the measurement framework for schools to ensure it remains relevant, ensuring equity and access for disadvantaged students.
Question negatived.
