Mr President, I have a supplementary question: the High Court decision means that the chaplaincy program can no longer be funded or administered by the federal government. It is finished. But this government decision means that chaplains and welfare workers will still be working in schools until the end of the year without any administrative oversight by the education department—including guidelines, codes of conduct or complaints procedures. How will the Australian government ensure the safety and wellbeing of students for these six months?
