'That's the Old Testament,' says Senator O'Sullivan! Oh dear. I did not hear that in the Prime Minister's announcement. All he said was that he was not going to the Orange Lodge. One wonders.

Senator Smith interjecting—

That was Mr Turnbull's language, not mine, Senator Smith. He brought that into the debate, not me. But let me quote from the report, from page 181, rather than be further distracted:

… Australian Government funding for all systems should be assessed and calculated at the system rather than the school level.

It added that education systems must be transparent about how they allocate public and private funds and where the money is spent. Indeed, that is the My Schools measure. (Time expired)
