. I notice that the South Australian Labor government is prepared to have a serious talk about energy reform, including nuclear energy, in this country. The South Australian Labor Premier said when asked about this today that it was 'only a discussion paper', but the South Australian Labor Premier went on to say: 'We have been asking them to canvas the broader range of options; there is a broad debate going on about Commonwealth-state relations, which is a good thing.' We are perfectly happy to see a broad debate about the future of reform in this country, but I do have to say that the actual running of public schools is entirely a matter for the states and territories.
