My question is the minister representing the Minister for Education, Senator Payne. Comments made by the New South Wales Minister for Education, Mr Piccoli, noted that the Commonwealth had implied that if there were a reduction in funding for the states that have signed up to the schools agreement, then indeed that reduction may well only come out of public schools. Is this the Commonwealth's position?
