LYRUP PRIMARY SCHOOL

The SPEAKER: Member for Chaffey.

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis: Oh my god!

Mr WHETSTONE (Chaffey) (14:47): Thank you, Mr Speaker. Yes, that is—

The SPEAKER: The member for West Torrens is warned for what appeared to be a blasphemous remark.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Point of order, Mr Speaker. I take blasphemy very seriously. That was not a blasphemous remark.

Mr WHETSTONE: My question is to the member for West Torrens. Following my conversation with the minister about the closure of the Lyrup Primary School, can he now explain why the government has removed playground equipment purchased by the community fundraising from the site and what does the government intend to do with this community asset?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:47): I received correspondence from the member in relation to Lyrup Primary School and raised those questions with the department because I know that he was very keen on what could be done with that site. I was advised that the equipment was distributed to other schools.
