Ms KATE ELLIS (Adelaide) (14:18): My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the coalition's election promise made on 29 August: Our policy starts with a clear commitment to all Australian schools: your funding is certain. What guarantee can the Prime Minister give that under his plan no school will be worse off as a result of actions by the Commonwealth or state governments? The SPEAKER: Before I call the honourable Prime Minister I must say that that question is getting very close to one that has already been fully answered. However, the last words that were added asking that the Prime Minister answer on behalf of state governments is new to the question, so I will give the call to the honourable Prime Minister.
