Senator BIRMINGHAM (South Australia—Minister for Education and Training) (14:27): Obviously literacy and comprehension understanding in Australia extends to some of those in the Australian Labor Party, because clearly they were not listening to the answer that I gave before. We ensured that every dollar was there. We put in $1.2 billion extra. Far from any suggestion of there being cuts, what we have delivered, what we are delivering, is increased year on year. Across every single year of the forward estimates there is extra money in the budget for Australian schools. Those opposite want to run a campaign that is based on fear and lies and that misleads the Australian people, but the truth is we have delivered every cent that was in the budget. We put an extra $1.2 billion in and every single year into the future we are budgeting on increasing funding to schools. So: no cuts. Far from it; extra support from those on this side of the chamber. Senator Jacinta Collins: You're a grub. Government senators interjecting— Senator Jacinta Collins: You're a fraud. The PRESIDENT: On both sides, order. Senator Birmingham interjecting— Senator Cormann interjecting— Senator Jacinta Collins interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Collins, order. Senator Jacinta Collins: Well, he says we cannot read. Senator Birmingham: I said you don't comprehend. The PRESIDENT: Senator Collins, I think you need to withdraw that remark. Senator Jacinta Collins: What's that? Senator Bernardi interjecting— Senator Jacinta Collins: Which word? A government senator: Fraud! The PRESIDENT: I am not going to repeat what was said, Senator Collins, but what you said across the chamber directed at Senator Birmingham. Senator Jacinta Collins: I will withdraw.
