My question is to the Minister for Education, Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations and Minister for Social Inclusion. Why have stimulus payments being denied to the Royal Far West School and to the Stewart House School in my electorate on the grounds that they have a transient enrolment, while a $300,000 stimulus payment has been made available to the Palm Avenue School in my electorate which also has a transient enrolment? How can the minister explain this inconsistency, especially given that the schools denied funding are continuing to operate but the school given funding has just been closed by the New South Wales government?
