(a) on what date did you instruct the Department of Education Services to consult with stakeholders;
(b) what stakeholders have been consulted since you issued that instruction;
(c) when were these stakeholders consulted;
(d) what form did the consultation take;
(e) did the Department advertise for submissions from stakeholders on this matter and if so when and where did advertisements appear and if not, why not;
(f) is the legislation ready to be presented to Parliament and if so when will it be presented; and
(g) if legislation is not yet ready, when does the Minister expect it to be ready?
