My question is to the Prime Minister. A little while ago, the New South Wales Liberal Minister for Education stood up with the New South Wales shadow minister for education, with a union, teachers and principals, and said: 'We're not asking for special treatment, we're not asking for a special deal; we're just asking for the deal we currently have to be honoured.' Why won't the Prime Minister honour the schools deal with the New South Wales government instead of cutting $22 billion? Mr Speaker, I would like to table the photograph of the press conference.
