Ms PLIBERSEK (Sydney—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:36): My question is to the Minister for Education. Two out of every three children, about 2½ million kids, go to a public school. Why is the government continuing to cut $14 billion out of public schools over the next decade? And do you guarantee that agreements with states and territories for public school funding will be signed in the next 14 days, as the Prime Minister promised yesterday?
