In response to Senator Wright, I would advise the senator that the systems which were in place before the High Court decision have not disappeared into thin air. I should imagine that Senator Wright has not considered that in her question. Of course, the day-to-day operation of chaplains within the school system is the responsibility of state and territory governments—as the day-to-day operation of the schools is their responsibility—and the continued operation to the end of the year will be a matter for them.
