This is part of a negotiation with the State School Teachers’ Union of WA. I have already said publicly many times that our offer to the teachers’ union is more than $600 million. This is a part of that proposition: a $600 million-plus pay deal on offer to the teachers’ union. Negotiations are ongoing, as we speak, in relation to this issue, and I think it is entirely relevant that we work on more flexible schooling options in public schools throughout Western Australia.
