I am asked about schools funding and hospitals funding. I remind those opposite that we have almost doubled schools funding. That is what this government has done. I remind those opposite of the increase in expenditure on hospitals, when they are led by a man who took $1 billion out of the public hospital system. But, if you want to talk to us about cuts, how many schools will you close to make your $70 billion black hole?
