Thank you, Mr Speaker. The message is clear to the member for Richmond that schools in her electorate will benefit greatly, just as they will in the member for Sydney's electorate and the member for Maribyrnong's electorate. When the Labor Party talk about increased funding for schools, we know that they do not fund it. And we know that it is funny money, because the member for Sydney said, 'We will replace every cent of that $22 billion,' and the final word goes to the member for Port Adelaide, because he said, 'Well, it's not going to be $22 billion necessarily.' So not only are they denying the constituents of their own electorates more funding under the Turnbull government's plan; they do not even know how much of that they will be providing to schools across Australia.
