Senator Moloney mentioned teaching posts in special schools. The 2014 target was 1,100 but there were 1,387 teachers in special schools, 287 above the target, yet at the start of 2015, the target was only 1,100. That means the target for this year for teachers in special schools was 20% less than what was in place last September. That is massive, but the point was not well addressed.
