My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for Education, Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations and Minister for Social Inclusion. I refer to the report in today’s Adelaide Advertiser in relation to the $112,000 in architectural fees for the three campuses of the Kangaroo Island school. Is the Deputy Prime Minister aware that the three so-called concept drawings, costing $112,000, were produced by an architect from Mount Gambier, 600 kilometres away, and took two days to complete, and that two of them were the same and a third was a design that already existed? Does the Deputy Prime Minister believe that $112,000 for two days work represents value for money?
