Senator DUNIAM (Tasmania—Assistant Minister for Forestry and Fisheries and Assistant Minister for Regional Tourism) (16:18): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute, Senator DUNIAM: Government schools are the responsibility of state and territory governments. As the predominant funder of non-government schools, it is appropriate that the Commonwealth government support non-government schools affected by natural disasters, including drought and flood. The recently announced $10 million special circumstances funding assistance will help ensure the viability of many non-government schools that expect to provide fee relief, counselling and other support for many students from drought affected areas. The PRESIDENT: The question is that motion No. 322, in the name of Senator Faruqi, be agreed to.
