How about: given that the Cairns School of Distance Education in my home state of Queensland will, according to modelling by state government and non-government schools, lose $4.4 million, or over half its annual funding, and 3,253 other government and non-government schools around Australia are set to lose, on average, $500,000 in funding per year under the government's new funding model, can the minister make a firm and unequivocal commitment that no school will be worse off in real terms under its funding reforms?
