Senator VANSTONE (Minister for Employment, Education, Training and Youth Affairs)(5.52 p.m.) —Senator, equally I may have some trouble expressing myself, so let me put it to you as plainly as I can. I am telling you that in such circumstances funding to government schools would increase in any event. But, of course, the EBA would trigger a shift. I think I know what you are confusing or where our messages are mixing—and the government is not hiding from this. You know full well what the EBA does if it is triggered and shifts money from one sector to another. But you are asking me to say therefore that total funding falls, and it does not. Total funding for the government sector increases and the EBA is just a very small part of that funding.
