Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I refer to Evesham State School in Queensland, where a $250,000 grant is attached to the school’s single student and, should that school close down, the grant will follow her to her next school, which has already started a bidding war among other schools for the student. Will the minister explain how a grant can be given to a school with only one student, particularly when that school did not apply for a grant in the first place?
