EDUCATION FUNDING

Mr PISONI (Unley) (14:59): I do have a supplementary, sir.

The SPEAKER: Excellent, a supplementary.

Mr PISONI: Will the minister guarantee that not a single South Australian school, government or non-government, will be worse off in 2014 with the new funding model compared to the funding model it is replacing?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (15:00): Over a six-year period there is going to be something like $1.1 billion of extra funding—

Mr PISONI: Point of order: my question was specific to 2014 and the minister is talking about a six-year period. My supplementary was specific to the year 2014, not a six-year period.

The SPEAKER: To next year.

Mr PISONI: That is correct, sir.

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE: I gave the answer in response to the last question. Catholic schools will get an additional $18 million next year and independent schools an additional $17 million.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Unley.

Mr PISONI: The question was: can she guarantee whether there will be a single school in South Australia—government or non-government school—that will be worse off in 2014? That was the question that she chose not to answer.

Mr PISONI: The member for Unley is warned. Minister, do you have anything to add?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE: I answered the questions.

Mr Pisoni: No, you did not.

The SPEAKER: The member for Unley is warned for the second and final time. The member for Stuart.
