Mr President, my question is to Senator Evans, Leader of the Government in the Senate and the Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations in his capacity representing the Minister for School Education, Early Childhood and Youth, Senator Evans. Will the minister unequivocally rule out this government approving a national history curriculum for years 11 and 12 if it includes teaching students about supposed ‘controversies surrounding the purpose and function of memorial sites and commemorative events’ such as those at Gallipoli?
