I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(3) My
position is that I am aware there are other jurisdictions calling for a review
of NAPLAN. There will be further discussion of this at future Education Council
meetings, including this Friday in Adelaide. I look forward to hearing the
arguments and any proposed alternatives before I reach a decision.
