My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister guarantee that the needs-based funding loadings in Labor's Gonski plan for every Indigenous student will be delivered to schools under his panicked deal announced yesterday?

We are delivering the money that will enable the loading to be delivered, unlike members opposite who took the money away. They clawed it back—that is what they did. So the answer is yes.
