MADAM SPEAKER: Withdraw, Mr Hanson.
Mr Hanson: I withdraw.
MR BARR: We look forward to a better offer from the federal opposition, but the one very clear statement that Bill Shorten made, which I and every state and territory leader would endorse, is that states and territories will do better—undoubtedly do better—under a federal Labor government. That is already very clear. The fact that those opposite are not even prepared to argue for more health or education funding for this jurisdiction reflects their priorities and their lack of interest in public health and public education. We see that writ large every time the Leader of the Opposition here opens his mouth.
MADAM SPEAKER: Supplementary question, Ms Burch.
MS BURCH: Chief Minister, in addition to proposals put forward for the education system, can you also tell the Assembly about harmonising reportable conduct schemes proposed by the ACT and agreed by the leaders at COAG, and how that would improve child safety in the future?
MADAM SPEAKER: I am sorry; the first question was about the outcomes from COAG in respect of which the Chief Minister spoke about health, education and taxation. The second question was about the agreements in relation to health. The second question was also about a guarantee in relation to health and education funding. But there has not been so far either in the question or in any of the discussion any issues relating to the harmonisation. Could you just repeat your question?
Mr Barr: If I could assist, Madam Speaker, one of the outcomes of COAG was an agreement on the harmonisation of reportable conduct.
MADAM SPEAKER: I do not recall you mentioning—
Mr Barr: The original question was about COAG outcomes.
MADAM SPEAKER: Yes. Could you sit down? Ms Burch, could you read your question again?
MS BURCH: Madam Speaker, if I may read the original substantive question, which was: can the Chief Minister—
MADAM SPEAKER: No, can you read your supplementary question, please?
MS BURCH: Well, it was around the outcomes of the meeting of the Council of Australian Governments held on Friday—
MADAM SPEAKER: Yes.
