I thank the member for Corangamite for her question. I know that she welcomes the Turnbull government's $18.6 billion increase to school funding over the next decade—a 75 per cent increase to true needs based funding in a transparent way to create a nationally consistent system. No wonder it has been warmly received by the Grattan Institute, by the primary schools association, by the Christian schools association, by the government schools association.

Corangamite has 66 schools: 53 government schools, nine Catholic schools and four independent schools.
