I remind the minister that it is actually the New South Wales Liberal Party who are opposing these measures, not the Labor Party. The Labor government in New South Wales have given a commitment to this reporting system, so I hope that the rant that the minister has just delivered will be well received by the New South Wales Liberal spokesperson on education, that plainly what he stands for is mediocrity.

Another issue I want to get the minister’s response on is also in this year’s budget. The government has decided to continue its tutorial voucher initiative. I understand there has been an evaluation done of the pilot tutorial voucher initiative. There is an executive summary of this evaluation that is available on the DEST website. We would like to see a copy of the final evaluation.

Before the bells rang for the division, I referred to the evaluation of the pilot tutorial voucher initiative. Will the full copy of the report of that evaluation be made available publicly? As I said, the executive summary is on the website but we would appreciate a copy of the whole report.
