Senator ALLMAN-PAYNE (Queensland) (14:21): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Education, Minister Watt. This year more than 100,000 public school kids will graduate having never attended a public school that was funded to its minimum level of need. With underfunding meaning growing teacher shortages and declining NAPLAN results, will the government listen to the urgent calls of students, parents, carers, unions and teachers for help to save our public schools and get them to 100 per cent of their minimum funding requirement at the start of the next National School Reform Agreement?
