My question is to the Prime Minister. Since the Prime Minister crudely ruled out the proposal to teach primary school children coding in his last answer, how does he reconcile his remarks with the following quote by the Minister for Communications:

ICT skills such as coding should not be only subjects offered in years 10-12, that's too late. We have to get to students as young as five or six.

Who is right, Prime Minister? You or the bloke who wants your job?
