I beg your pardon: it is Ryan. I take that interjection from the member for Ryan. As a former house master at Marist College, Ashgrove, I was thrilled to be asked to officially open the new classrooms and science labs. I was also delighted to join the local state member, Kate Jones, at the event and was impressed by her commitment to her electorate and her understanding of the great benefits of quality education facilities for local students. It was disappointing that there were not other members there. I am sure the member for Ryan had a full diary on that day, but I did not see her. I am sorry to hear about that. But I can tell you for a fact, Deputy Speaker Murphy, that no school principal, no parent, no teacher has ever complained to me about the BER program.
