Senator Kitching, honestly! Senator Birmingham announced last week the most fundamental reform of school funding in Australia that we have seen in this nation for many decades. It is a comprehensive package. It restores what your government failed ever to comply with, and that is the principles of the 2011 Gonski report, as Mr David Gonski himself said last week and as Senator Birmingham quoted him in his answer to an earlier question. Senator Kitching, as I said to your colleague Senator Sterle, what is the Labor Party's problem with the principle of equity in funding?
