My question is to the Minister for Education. As per the letter I sent you in July this year, is the minister aware that East Brisbane State School stands to be demolished as part of plans to demolish and rebuild the Gabba stadium to provide an extra 8,000 seats for the 2032 Olympics? With the federal government still considering whether to provide 50 per cent of the funding for the project, do you believe that spending up to $2½ billion to demolish a growing and thriving public school for a two-week sporting event is a good use of public funds?

I haven't seen the letter, but I am happy to meet with the member and talk about that in detail.
