My question is to Senator Arbib, Minister representing the Minister for Education. Does the minister agree with education department officials who claimed during estimates hearings that school halls built at state schools are more expensive than those built by Catholic schools because of the school facility standards—that is, the intent to build buildings that are going to last a long time? Does the minister therefore claim that buildings built by Catholic schools are of inferior quality and not built to last?
