Christopher Pyne (Sturt, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Education, Apprenticeships and Training) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Minister for Education. I refer the minister to comments by Mr Gary Zadkovich, the deputy president of the New South Wales Teachers Federation, who said:

A school may receive an $850,000 trucked-in prefabricated classroom or library when it knows a fully furnished brick home would cost half …

Does the minister agree with Mr Zadkovich that there are too many reports of waste and mismanagement of this program to ignore any longer? Minister, when will you take responsibility for this systemic failure?
