Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Is the government aware of a survey conducted by the New South Wales Public Schools Principals Forum which showed that 117 out of 200 schools surveyed believe the construction projects under the Building the Education Revolution do not provide value for money or have, through delays, seriously disrupted classes and student activities? How can the government maintain that this $16 billion fiasco is a good spend of taxpayers’ money if nearly 60 per cent of schools themselves disagree, or does the government know best?
