I thank the shadow minister for education for his question, and I await his explanation of the $425 million they want to rip out of quality teaching and the more than $3 billion they want to rip out of education after having governed for almost 12 long years, a wasted decade. But, on the question that the shadow minister has asked me, I will take some advice from the Attorney-General about whether he has breached the copyright of the Australian newspaper. Should it turn out that he has breached that copyright, then I am sure that publishers of the Australian newspaper will take the appropriate action. Having seen the story in the Australian newspaper from which the photograph has come and which has just been held up to the House, I read the words in the newspaper as well.
