$1.2 billion, thank you, Member for Aston. An extra $1.2 billion that they ripped from the children of Queensland and Western Australia. We, under the leadership of the Prime Minister and the Minister for Education, have found that money from the taxpayers of Australia to go where they never were spending that money.

I am very proud of the fact that in this budget we are not only putting down the foundation for increased growth and jobs and productivity, we are not only paying back Labor's debt by finding spending cuts, but we are also increasing support for hospitals and for schools by the significant numbers of 37 and 40 per cent respectively.
