Just to provide a bit more detail on funding for different sectors, in 2022 the Australian government is providing $25 billion in recurrent school funding. The largest amount, $9.94 billion, is to government schools. There is $8.64 billion for Catholic schools and $6.67 billion for independent schools. The increase to non-state schooling in this year's budget is, I understand—and, again, I'll check this—as a result of the indexation model that already exists and has applied for some time. But I've run out of time. (Time expired)
