My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, Minister for Education and Minister for Social Inclusion. I refer the minister to her answer yesterday in which she indicated that Evesham State School, the one-student school that received a $250,000 grant under the Primary Schools for the 21st Century program, was in discussions with a view to amalgamation with other schools. According to the press, this appears to be news to the acting principal, who is also the sole teacher. At the time of answering this question yesterday, what discussions had the minister herself, her department or her office had with the one teacher, one student or one caregiver of the student at Evesham State School?
