I hear the opposition jeer at that, and the opposition is obviously thinking to itself: ‘Why would you model a percentage uptake of a universal entitlement program in schools? Why would you do that?’ It really strikes me as passing strange that any member of the opposition would jeer about that, because when the opposition was in government it had the Investing in Our Schools Program and—you guessed it—it was modelled at an 80 per cent take-up rate. It was badged as a universal entitlement to schools and it was modelled at an 80 per cent take-up rate.
