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 about the one-student Evesham State School, which received a $250,000 grant under the Primary Schools for the 21st Century program. I further refer the minister to comments by the acting principal, who is also the sole teacher, in today’s media suggesting that the school did not even apply for the grant in the first place. How many other schools have been given grants under this program that they have not even applied for?
