Malcolm Turnbull (Wentworth, Liberal Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

This is the judgement of his peers. This is one of the leading figures in the Labor Party, the Premier of South Australia. He says of the policy the opposition leader has just asked me about, 'We haven't seen any coherent or sustainable way in which that's going to be funded.' If he has not seen it, why does the Leader of the Opposition expect anybody else to take it seriously?

We remain committed to schools funding that is fair, equitable, needs based and improves student outcomes. We are making sure it is being used where it counts: teacher quality, a better curriculum, parental engagement and in supporting principals to make local decisions about their local schools. And when we make promises we will be able to fund them. We will fund them—unlike Labor who make promises with no backing, no finance and no responsibility.
