My question is for the Minister for Education and Training, Senator Birmingham. I refer to the comments made by your colleague Senator Bernardi in the media yesterday, where he said, 'Schools should be places of learning, not indoctrination'. In response the Prime Minister ordered an investigation into the Safe Schools program, a program that is not about indoctrination, but rather about supporting LGBTI young people and preventing bullying. If the government is so serious about ending indoctrination in schools, will it be conducting an investigation into its multimillion dollar chaplain program that has the effect of promoting one particular religious perspective over others?
