My question is to the Prime Minister. Last night every member of the government voted not once, not twice but six times, in the House, for cuts to school funding—a cut which, according to this document from the Prime Minister's own office, means that $22 billion will be ripped away from schools over the next 10 years. Prime Minister, how is it fair that your government is cutting $22 billion from schools at the same time as you are giving $65 billion to big business in tax cuts?
