Mr SHORTEN (Maribyrnong—Leader of the Opposition) (15:04): My question is to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister's $17 billion cut to schools is going to hit public schools the hardest, and Catholic Education said today that the government's school funding model: … delivers funding cuts to hundreds of Catholic schools … This will deliver a hit to cost of living for many parents through increased fees. Why is this Prime Minister pursuing an arrogant and out-of-touch policy of cutting $17 billion from schools whilst giving $17 billion to the big banks alone?
