Senator BIRMINGHAM (South Australia—Minister for Education and Training) (14:10): The Turnbull government absolutely will continue to grow school funding in the future, from last year's record level of $16 billion to more than $20 billion by 2020. That is funding growth above inflation and above projected enrolment growth. It is real growth into Australian schools, despite all the lies that we hear from those opposite and some of those on the crossbenches. Yesterday Dr Ken Boston, one of the authors of the Gonski report, called out the fact that what Labor pretend is the Gonski report is of course far from what was recommended. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator O'Neill! Senator BIRMINGHAM: Dr Boston said, 'The Gillard and Rudd governments did not adopt the Gonski report, and neither has the current Labor opposition.' Opposition senators interjecting— Senator BIRMINGHAM: No, listen to this: 'The Gonski report did not see additional funding as the key to improving Australian education.' The Gonski report, if you bothered to read it, was a far more complicated document than those pretending that billions of dollars makes a difference. It is about how you use it most effectively— (Time expired)
