I think I have already done that. I can give the Leader of the Opposition a categorical guarantee that absolutely nothing untoward took place at that meeting. I can give another categorical guarantee, one that is far more important than the one he is seeking, to the schoolteachers in Western Australia: As Premier, I will endeavour to do everything I possibly can to make the change to outcomes-based education in years 11 and 12 work well. I give that categorical guarantee.
