In previous inquiries into Indigenous education, it has been found that there is quite a lot of travel by families and that children will often present at different schools during any given year. One of the problems that arose from this was that schools did not share enrolment data. Presumably we are talking about South Australia, Western Australia and Queensland here. Are you satisfied that sharing of data is now available and that students are known when they turn up at one school and where their principal enrolment is? How does that fit with this regime?
