My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, Minister for Education and Minister for Social Inclusion. I refer the minister to an estimate from Abigroup of $2.9 million for work on six classrooms in the Sutherland Shire in Sydney as part of the Primary Schools for the 21st Century program and another estimate for work on six identical classrooms in Cecil Hills in Sydney for $2 million provided by the contractor for the south-western Sydney area. How does the minister explain an inflation factor of almost $1 million between two schools less than an hour’s drive from each other that are building the same six classrooms?
