Senator Sterle, what is the problem the Labor Party has with the idea that all Australian students should be treated fairly? Why does the Labor Party have a problem with the principle that you used to espouse, though never gave effect to, that school funding should be needs based? Why do you have a problem, as you appear to have, with the principle that school funding should be transparent? And why do you have a problem, as you appear to have, with the principle that there should be consistency of treatment across the country? (Time expired)
