Senator O'NEILL (New South Wales) (14:00): My question is to the Minister for Education and Training, Senator Birmingham. Since announcing his schools package on 2 May this year, the minister has constantly said that, under his education package, there would be 'no special deals'. Reports today indicate the government will temporarily delay its $4.6 billion cut to Catholic schools. Has the minister now done a special deal? If so, what is it?
