Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Finance and Deregulation) (14:07): That is properly a question for the Minister representing the Minister for School Education, Early Childhood and Youth but, given that the opposition seem to want to ask questions of only me, I am happy to provide what information I can. Honourable senators interjecting— Senator Chris Evans interjecting— Senator WONG: No, 'knuckle draggers' is Senator Carr's trademark. He has a patent on that. I understand that the AGSRC is calculated using the expenditure by state and territory government schools and is updated by the ministerial council. Whilst the main inclusions offer salaries and allowances for teachers and related on-costs, the index also includes other recurrent costs such as the cost of utilities. If you want further information, Senator, I suggest you ask the relevant minister. In relation to the broader issue of funding, this is the government that has doubled school funding—something that cannot be matched by the opposition, given that their plan is to slash services such as health and education.
