I was not aware that the Leader of the Opposition was going to ask a couple of questions on the same subject, but my question is on the same topic he raised. I did have a couple of questions, but I will concentrate on one of them. With regard to the proposed industrial rally at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre next Thursday, 30 June, as part of a national day of action, what measures will the minister take to resource schools and ensure that adequate duty of care to the schoolchildren and their parents is maintained if teachers leave their schools to attend the rally? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH

Teachers will not be leaving their schools to attend the rally. Teachers will be in classrooms teaching; they will continue the educational program of students. However, many schools have a union delegate. The union delegates will be attending that rally if they choose to do so.
