My question is to the Minister for Education. I refer the minister to admissions from Mr Brad Orgill, head of her BER Implementation Taskforce, that he had not read the Auditor-General’s report into the school stimulus debacle in its entirety and was yet to ask the education department for any information about how they evaluate value for money. Given that Mr Orgill has entirely undermined the credibility of the task force’s work, will the minister now move to establish a judicial inquiry into the school halls debacle with powers to subpoena documents and summons witnesses to determine how much money has been wasted and who is responsible?
