My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Education. I refer the minister to comments made yesterday by Sam Williams, Chairman of the Naracoorte Primary School Council in my electorate, in which Mr Williams described how that school had been forced to use non-local contractors, at a cost of ‘about 2½ times dearer per square meter to have our buildings built’ than the non-government school in town. Can the minister explain how this represents value for money?
