The government will not be supporting this motion. The evaluation report it seeks is not owned by the Commonwealth. It is owned by the members of the Australian Education Research Organisation, the state, territory and Commonwealth ministers for education. The government does not ordinarily release these types of documents without the agreement of other jurisdictions.

Question agreed to.
