My question is to the Minister for Education. I refer the minister to the Perseverance Primary School. The entire school student body can be seen in this photograph, sitting around the table—one teacher and five students. This photograph was found on the internet, so it is quite widely available. All the student body is sitting around the table in this photograph. Perseverance Primary School has been granted $50,000 for a new arts hub, under the National School Pride Program, and is also entitled to $250,000 for a school hall. The school has five students. Does the minister think this represents value for money for the Australian taxpayer at $60,000 per student?
