I have not seen the statement by the New South Wales Primary Principals' Association, and I wonder whether that statement was made before or since yesterday's announcement. But, in any event, I am sure that the New South Wales Primary Principals' Association would be delighted that this government, the Turnbull government, is investing more in schools funding than any Australian government has done ever, either Labor or coalition. I am sure the New South Wales Primary Principals' Association would be delighted that funding will be increasing over the next four years, from $16 billion this year to $20 billion in 2020. I am sure that New South Wales primary school principals will be delighted that the budget will include an additional $1.2 billion for schools over four years.
