Mr President, I have a supplementary question. Can the minister confirm that today the Prime Minister announced that there would be $1.2 billion worth of cuts to education to be announced in MYEFO? How can you maintain the funding certainty? How can you maintain this when it is nothing more than a stitch-up with the Western Australia, Queensland and Northern Territory governments at the expense of Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, where a majority of students are actually enrolled?
