  • <p>At the request of Senator Henderson, I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That there be laid on the table by the Minister representing the Minister for Education, by no later than 10 am on 5 December 2023, a copy of the final report on the Review to Inform a Better and Fairer Education System provided to the Minister for Education.</p>

  • <p>I seek leave to make a short statement.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Andrew McLachlan</p>
  • <p>Leave is granted for one minute.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Anthony Chisholm</p>
  • <p>The government will not be supporting this motion. It is a carbon copy of one which was brought before the Senate earlier this month and was voted against. The review report it seeks was agreed to by the Education Ministers Meeting. The report is made to all of the country's education ministers. Therefore, the government cannot release the report without the agreement of the education ministers across the country. The report will be released publicly.</p>
