My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, Minister for Education and Minister for Social Inclusion. Will the minister confirm that at Berridale Public School a new toilet block, including replumbing, excavation, double brick, hot water and showers, was completed early in 2009, where the cost per square metre was $2,640? Can she further confirm that, in what is being described by the Department of Education and Training of New South Wales as ‘descoping’, Berridale Public School will receive a new library, described as essentially a demountable by the principal, Ian McCluggage, at approximately $5,660 per square metre? Can she explain the discrepancy?
