Unfortunately, it appears as though, once again, the Liberal and National parties are putting petty politics before the future of our children. We saw it in the Territory budget in May. Today, the Prime Minister has provided solid figures and facts to put the case once again to the Chief Minister of the Northern Territory that this funding will benefit all students, teachers and parents in the Northern Territory. You only have to listen to the words—and I suggest those opposite listen carefully—of the Northern Territory education minister, Peter Chandler, who is on the record saying on 10 May 2013 on ABC Darwin radio:

There is a line out there—I give a Gonski—and yes I certainly do because I like what I see in Gonski—I like the outcomes that have been promised.

Just to remind you, that was the Northern Territory education minister, Peter Chandler, saying those words. (Time expired)
