I thank the member for some notice of this question. No. Hon Barbara Scott : No what? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : The minister cannot advise. Government policy provides for a kindergarten or pre-primary place for all eligible children as close to home as possible. Kindergarten and preprimary programs are not compulsory, and parents choose from a range of options for care and early education provision. Hon Barbara Scott : What a nonsense answer. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : The member should know that. She has been dealing with children - The PRESIDENT : Order, members! Hon Ken Baston wants to ask a question and I want to listen to him.
