Mr TURNBULL (Wentworth—Prime Minister) (14:16): The honourable member would be well aware that under the government's school funding policy—and, indeed, consistently with the practice of federal governments for many years—the federal government is the largest government funder of non-government schools, and of course state and territory governments are the largest funder of the schools that they own and operate. So the comparison the honourable member makes is completely inapt, totally inapt. The position is that, under our model, by 2027, with all these systems getting different levels of funding at the moment—a system we inherited from the Labor Party—government schools, wherever they are in Australia, will receive 20 per cent of the Schooling Resource Standard from the Commonwealth. And they will receive that whether they are in the Northern Territory or whether they are in Victoria or Tasmania. Ms Claydon interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Newcastle will leave under 94(a). The member for Newcastle then left the chamber. Mr TURNBULL: And non-government schools will receive 80 per cent of the Schooling Resource Standard, which is adjusted by reference to the SES formula that determines the community's capacity to pay—again, consistent with past practice. It is fair; it is transparent. What Labor have is a mishmash of promises—inconsistent, incoherent, not transparent. Ours is fair, it is needs based and it involves $18.6 billion more spending during that time. It is a commitment of $18.6 billion over the forward estimates, rising from $17 billion a year now to over $30 billion in 2027. It is a massive increase in funding, and it is needs based, sector blind and transparent—that is the difference—as endorsed, as recommended, by David Gonski. The Labor Party sought to canonise David Gonski, but then they corrupted his vision. We are delivering more money, fairly, transparently and needs based.
