My question is to the Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Science and Research and Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Evans. Following my colleague Senator Milne's questions yesterday, I also have some questions relating to the Asian century white paper. As one of the first steps towards strengthening its place in the Asia-Pacific region, Australia needs to properly value and resource its public education system. Can the minister guarantee that the government will implement the Gonski review via a significant boost in funding to public schools? Exactly what is the level of this investment, and will it be set out in legislation that comes before this parliament by the end of this year?
