Minister, under current funding arrangements, private schools will be overfunded by $6 billion from now until 2029 and public schools will be underfunded by $58 billion over the same period. The choice and affordability slush fund will dish out more than $100 million every year to private schools, while public schools are completely locked out. Minister, what on earth happened to needs based funding?
