I would like to direct a question to Senator Hanson, through you, Chair. Senator Hanson, I am interested in whether the issue of children with autism in schools was raised during your conversation with the minister? Your comments relating to children with autism needing to be in separate schools and not being able to get an education through the mainstream education system have generated much controversy today. I am interested to know whether you raised that issue at any time through your discussions with the minister during consideration on this education bill?
