Mr TURNBULL (Wentworth—Prime Minister) (14:11): I thank the honourable member for his question. There are 47 primary and secondary schools and more than 27,000 students in the honourable member's electorate of Tangney that will benefit from my government's record investment in Australian schools. We have heard the Leader of the Opposition ranting and raving about school funding. He has been exposed as a phony and a fake. He has been exposed as the author of 27 secret deals, the terms of which he is not prepared to disclose. Our school funding model is transparent and needs based. It means that schools with the same needs gets the same funding. Isn't that what needs-based funding is about? Ms Plibersek interjecting— Mr TURNBULL: The member for Sydney says it is not. Right, okay. Mr Khalil interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Wills will cease interjecting and is warned! Mr TURNBULL: The member for Sydney is trying to lead us into her parallel universe where needs-based funding does not mean schools with the same needs get the same funding. Mr Khalil interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Wills! Mr TURNBULL: I wonder, in Labor's parallel universe of fakery and fraud, who gets more money? I guess it is determined on political grounds. That would have to be it. It is not a matter of science; it is a matter of political science. It is not a matter of educational needs; it is a matter of political needs. That is why Ken Boston, as I noted earlier, a distinguished and respected educationalist, described Labor's mishmash of failed, unfunded policies as a corruption—his words, not mine—of Gonski's model. We know that under Labor's model a needy student with special needs in one state could get $1,500 less than a student with exactly the same needs in another state. The inconsistency, the injustice! No fairness. It is not needs based, unless one uses the member for Sydney's dictionary, in which things mean the opposite of what they ought to mean. This is literally black meaning white. That is what she is saying. That is what Labor is saying. They had the opportunity to implement a consistent needs-based funding model. We are doing it, and we are spending $18.6 billion—additional money—over the decade. Every year we are spending that money. At the end of the decade— Ms Butler interjecting — The SPEAKER: The member for Griffith is warned. Mr TURNBULL: it will be $18.6 billion more than it was at the beginning. We are making that commitment to schools. We are doing it on the basis of need, and we are doing it honestly and transparently. (Time expired)
