I thank the member for Dawson for his question. I know he is a great supporter of his local schools. I have a great story to tell him about Queensland because we have received notification that the first Primary Schools for the 21st Century project has been completed. It has been completed at Yandina State School in Queensland. Yesterday the kids there started to use their new library, their new ICT centre and their refurbished classrooms, and they are already using the covered outdoor learning area.

Just to give you an indication of these facilities, I will show you a photograph of a new building constructed at Yandina State School as a result of the Building the Education Revolution program. This photograph is of the covered outdoor learning area, complete with drinking taps—part of the Building the Education Revolution program.
