Mr Speaker, on indulgence: every parent can imagine the horror that those parents are going through. Our thoughts are with them. My question is to the Prime Minister. Does the Prime Minister agree with this statement in relation to his schools policy: 'Compared to Labor's arrangements, this represents a saving of $22.3 billion over 10 years'? If not, why did the Prime Minister's office distribute this document to journalists stating that his schools policy was a $22.3 billion saving compared to Labor's policy? He was prepared to put it in writing. Why won't he say it out loud?
