Personal Explanation

MINISTER'S REMARKS

Mr PISONI (Unley) (15:25): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

Mr PISONI: During an answer to a question of mine, the Minister for Education and Child Development made the claim that I said on radio that there was an excess of 44 teachers. What I actually said on radio is that the answer came back $44 million a year being spent on surplus, so the minister was clearly wrong. On surplus teachers, the minister was clearly wrong.
