My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Education, Senator Carr. I refer the minister to comments made by the Prime Minister prior to the 2007 election, when he said that school chaplains actually are ‘the glue which keeps school communities rolling’. Why did the government yesterday vote against giving a long-term guarantee that this important School Chaplaincy Program would be continued?
