My question is to Senator Vanstone, Minister representing the Minister for Education, Science and Training. I refer to the minister’s announcement at the weekend that the government will fund school chaplains. Will school chaplains be encouraging young people to take on particular religions? Will schools that are already religious schools get the money too? And will the funding also be available to schools where the school itself decides that a general counsellor better suits the needs of its students?
