I, and on behalf of Senator O'Neill, move:
That the Senate—
(a) notes the commitment made by the current Minister for Education and Training (Mr Pyne) in the 2013 federal election to introduce a needs based disability loading under the Gonski school funding reforms by 2015;
(b) recognises that more than 100 000 students with a disability do not receive any funded support at school; and
(c) calls on the Government to keep its election promise to properly resource disability education, and include necessary funding for a needs based disability loading in the upcoming federal budget.
Question agreed to.
