Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I can appreciate the extraordinary sensitivity of those opposite to the waste and mismanagement, and I am going to ask the minister this: will the minister now guarantee that every contract let in the government’s $14.7 billion spendathon on schools will provide value for money and meet probity guidelines and that every dollar borrowed on behalf of taxpayers will be properly accounted for?
