Mr Speaker, I rise on a matter of privilege. The Minister for Education, Science and Training used question time today to obstruct me from performing my proper constitutional duties. Her criticism of me writing a support letter for one of the public schools in my electorate in seeking support for their funding under the Investing in Our Schools program was a gross breach of privilege and I would like the matter to be referred to the Committee of Privileges at the earliest convenience.
