Talking about trade training schools is all very interesting, but completely and utterly irrelevant to the issue of primary schools, and that is what the minister was asked about. If you were, Mr President, to take up Senator Conroy’s interjection that it is about education, we could have the ridiculous situation of a specific question on primary schools being asked and the minister being allowed to answer in relation to universities. Clearly there must be some relevance to the answer, and I would invite you to direct the minister’s attention to the question.
