My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Education, Senator Birmingham. The former Minister for Education and Training's own South Australian Liberal colleague the member for Barker, Mr Pasin, labelled Senator Birmingham's relationship with the independent schools sector as toxic and accused him of allowing the 'sore to fester far too long'. Is that why Minister Birmingham was dumped from the education portfolio and replaced with Mr Tehan?
