I thank the member for some notice of this question. Just for
clarification, did the member not get the answer to this question?
Hon Samantha Rowe : You answered a question that I have not
asked yet. You answered question C254.
Hon PETER COLLIER : Okay. So the member is not going to ask
that question now?
Hon Samantha Rowe : No; I do not need to!
Hon PETER COLLIER :
I want it back!
Hon Samantha Rowe : You really read my mind!
Hon PETER COLLIER : Anything to be helpful! I was only tricking; that was not the right
answer!
The answer is that t he
student census is needed to calculate the student and staff ratios. The results
of the census are currently being finalised. This will be completed in the next
couple of weeks. It will be earlier than that, actually, because notice of this
question was given on 12 March. I will provide the response at that time. It
will be next week.
The PRESIDENT : Perhaps, just to clear it all up,
if the Minister for Education is prepared to provide the answer to the earlier
question that was asked later in the proceedings, it might help.
Hon PETER COLLIER : I do not have it, Mr President.
