| Labor to Turnbull: Public school principles have travelled to be here in Canberra today. So, how can the prime minister claim his school funding model is sector-blind when Loriston Girls school in Melbourne with fees of primary school up to $27,000 a year gets seven times the funding increase of Anula school in Darwin. How is that fair to kids in public schools like Anula Primary? | |
| Turnbull says historically the federal government funds a greater portion of private schools than public schools. | |
| Over the next 10 years, the idea is to bring all schools up to the school resourcing standard (Gonski formula). | |
| That formula for federal funding is 80% of non-government schools and 20% for public schools. States pick up the rest. | |
| The comparison the honourable member makes is completely inapt, totally inapt. | |
| By 2027 government schools, whenever they are in Australia, will receive 20% of the Schooling Resource Standard from the Commonwealth and they will receive that whether they are in the Northern Territory or the Victoria or Tasmania and nongovernment schools will receive 80% of the Schooling Resource Standard which is adjusted according to the SES formula. | |

| The next government question is on the schools package to Turnbull. | |
| The PM: | |
| Our school funding model is transparent, it is needs-based, it means that at the same school with the same needs gets the same funding. Isn’t that what needs-based funding is about? Oh! The member for Sydney [Plibersek] says it is not. Right, OK. So well, the member for Sydney is trying to lead us into her parallel universe where needs-based funding does not mean schools with the same needs get the same funding. So, I wonder under Labor’s parallel universe of fakery and fraud who gets more money? Well, I guess it is determined on political grounds. | |

| Bill Shorten condemns the Indonesian attacks as well. | |
| Shorten to Turnbull: I have a document from the prime minister’s own office which states the government’s school policy is a $22bn cut compared to Labor’s policy. Does the prime minister deny that his own office knew it was a $22 billion cut, wrote that it was a $22 billion cut, told journalists it was a $22bn cut, when will the prime minister finally say aloud and finally stop misleading the Australian people that his policy is a $22 billion cut? | |
| Turnbull: | |
| What we have heard from this Captain of Fantasy is yet another claim to billions of dollars that he never, ever had. Fantasy money. What could be less fair than promising resources that you cannot pay for... | |
| When we talk about fairness, what could be less fair than the 14 minutes of torture the leader of the opposition delivered to his own caucus today. Mr Speaker, a cross between Fidel Castro and Kevin Rudd, he went on and on and on for 14 minutes to his unfortunate crew. It only came to the end when it was interrupted by repeated snores and dull thuds from the members of the Labor Party falling out of their chairs... | |

| The first government question is on keeping Australians safe and secure after the Manchester and Indonesia bombings. | |
| Turnbull outlines the budget measures which boost funding to security agencies and the uncovering of terrorist plots. | |
| Our first priority is to keep Australians safe. The complex outlook in this area continues to see innovation on the part of the terrorists as they change their methods of operation. And we need to be as agile, more agile than them. | |

| Labor’s Tony Burke to Turnbull: On Monday, the prime minister said he would seek advice over the course of the next day from the AFP commissioner about allegations involving One Nation. But today in Senate estimates the commissioner confirmed that he had not received a request for advice from anyone in the government. Why did the primeminister tell the parliament he was going to seek advice from the police commissioner and then do absolutely nothing? Did the prime minister intend to mislead the parliament or do all the rules change when One Nation is involved? | |
| Turnbull says the AFP is evaluating the matter at the moment and needed to do so without any influence from the government. | |
| Yes, that’s quite a bit of over reach from the honourable member. | |

| Ahmed Fahour, who resigned from Australia Post after public criticism of his salary, has had a crack at the government at a business lecture. He has also made a veiled swipe at Seven Network boss Tim Worner on his highly publicised affair with Amber Harrison. Eli Greenblat of the Oz reports: | |
| Outgoing Australia Post boss Ahmed Fahour has defended his $5.6 million salary, arguing he “never held a gun to the head of the government or the Australia Post board’’ to demand the sizeable wage. Mr Fahour also noted that other CEOs in the country have been caught “doing things to their secretaries’’ but still kept their job. | |
| He said there were other Australian chief executives not running their companies very well, but noted they still got large payouts while his remuneration became a focal point of public debate and outrage. | |
| Addressing the University of New South Wales Business School last night, Mr Fahour also vowed that for his next job he would select an employer where the shareholder is “happy to pay what I was told I was going to get paid’’. | |
