If the Leader of the Opposition would just listen for once, he might just learn something. Next week's COAG, as I said yesterday, is going to be one of the most important COAG meetings of the year. What we need to see from state and territory governments is a commitment to reform and to turn around our outcomes and results. What we need to hear from state and territory governments is a commitment to put students first and to ensure that those basics, those fundamentals, of literacy and numeracy, are at the heart of everything that we teach. If we do that, we will turn these results and these outcomes around.
