Thanks, Senator Allman-Payne. Again, the government won't be supporting this amendment. The provisions of this bill give greater oversight in relation to Commonwealth investments in schools and progression of reforms,including requiring the education minister to provide an annual report to parliament. Much of the intent of this motion will be met through the implementation of the Better and Fairer Schools Agreement, which will require jurisdictions to report on how Commonwealth funds are invested, share information via a public dashboard and review the measurement framework for schooling in Australia.

Question negatived.

Bill agreed to.
