683. Mrs L.M. HARVEY to the Premier:
I refer to the opposition's
question last week highlighting education budget cuts and the Premier's
response, ''The education budget is going up!'' Can the Premier
confirm that he misled the house or did the Minister for Education and Training
mislead the Legislative Council when she confirmed that budget appropriations
over the government's first two budgets have been cut by $281 million?
