I thank my friend, the absolutely wonderful member for Gorton, for her question. Fifteen years ago, David Gonski gave us a formula for how we should fund our schools properly. The truth is that no government has ever done it until now, until this government and until this prime minister. We've now signed long-term agreements with every state and every territory. The last one of those was signed last week when Victoria signed up. All up, this is the biggest new investment in public schools by an Australian government ever, and it means an extra $20 billion invested in our public schools over the course of the next 10 years. It's not a blank cheque. This funding is tied to reform.

There are some people who say that all we need to do is provide our schools with extra funding, and then there are other people who say that funding is not important and all we need to do is roll out reform. The truth is we've got to do both. That's what this agreement is all about. The reading wars are over. We know what works to teach children how to read. It's phonics. Phonics works—things like phonics checks. That's why they're embedded in these agreements. We also know that small group tutoring works. When you get kids into a small group, they can learn as much in six months as they'd normally learn in 12 months. In other words, they catch up. These agreements help to fund that too, with the people to do that work. We also know the curriculum needs to be fixed, perhaps maths most of all. That's on the agenda when education ministers meet next week. I think we know that our schools also need a digital detox. The evidence is mounting that, the more time kids spend behind a screen or in front of a screen in the classroom, the more their results are inclined to decline. Now, I'm not talking about burning iPads here, but I am suggesting that we need to dial this back a bit. That'll be on the agenda next week too.

This week, we've also got a chance to do something that I think every mum and dad across the country wants us to do. I think every parent worries about what their kids are being fed on the internet—all the anger and the hate and the bullying and the smut. When our kids are being bullied online, I think parents want us to do something to help take that bullying down. When photos of our kids are being cut and pasted onto a naked body—that's what these nudify apps are doing—then they expect us to do something to stop that, too. When algorithms are turning our kids into someone that they're not, I reckon Australians expect us to do something about that, too. That's what the Online Safety Amendment (Digital Duty of Care) Bill is all about. I hope that this week we can all come together and support it. (Time expired)
