EDUCATION AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT

Mr PISONI (Unley) (15:01): A supplementary, sir, if I may. The minister in her answer said that there were not nine restructures of the education department. Can she advise the house how many there have been, then?

The SPEAKER: I'm sorry, what's the question?

Mr PISONI: The question is: can the minister advise the house how many restructures of the education department there have been in the term of this government?

The SPEAKER: Yes, I will grant that as a supplementary. Minister.

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (15:01): On a point of clarification, sir, the shadow minister actually said that I said there had not been nine restructures of the department, but let me just make this point: the one thing I know about the shadow minister is that you have to check his numbers because he gets them wrong all the time.

Mr PISONI: Point of order, sir.

The SPEAKER: I call the Minister for Education to order. Does the member for Unley have anything further to say?

Mr PISONI: My point of order, of course, is that it was debate. The minister was entering debate.

The SPEAKER: You know, the member for Unley may well have been right. The leader.
