Mr LEE (12:39 PM) —Amendments (5) and (6) provide for both recurrent and capital funding for government schools, and I would like to put a few questions to the minister through you, Mr Deputy Speaker. First of all, in schedule 2 it is clear that in column 2 recurrent grant funding for government schools for primary education is 8.9 per cent of AGSRC; for secondary education it is 10 per cent of AGSRC. They are different figures and, given the fact that the government has decided in its new funding system for non-government schools to have a minimum funding level of 13.7 per cent for both primary and secondary non-government schools, I am wondering why the government has not given consideration to doing the same thing for government schools, which would provide a significant increase to funding for many needy primary schools throughout the country.
