My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Education, Senator Birmingham, regarding the leaked proposals for school funding in the Federation green paper. The education minister has tweeted today:

The Australian government does not and will not support a means test for public education. Full stop. End of story.

But the Prime Minister, on the other hand, has said it is a creative idea and was not closing the door. However, I now understand he has ruled this out in question time. Can you confirm the official position of the government on means testing public education?
