My question is to the Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Government Service Delivery, Senator Arbib. I refer the minister to a briefing cheat sheet for government backbenchers relating to Building the Education Revolution that directs Labor members and senators not to deny complaints from schools:

… that they are being forced to use quotes from the State Government that are more expensive than what they could source locally.

Given the minister has on numerous occasions assured the Senate that taxpayers are receiving value for money from the BER, will the minister now admit that projects under the BER are costing taxpayers much more than they should?
