Premier's Reading Challenge

Mr TARZIA (Hartley) (15:02): My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. Could the minister please inform the house whether imported medals have been used by the New South Wales company contracted to supply medals for the value of $710,842 for the Premier's Reading Challenge?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (15:03): I can't hear you.

The SPEAKER: The medals for the Premier's Reading Challenge.

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE: That, I have; I don't understand what the question about them is. I missed the beginning. Sorry, I still can't hear anything.

The SPEAKER: Where are they made?

Mr TARZIA: I will repeat the question. Could the minister please inform the house whether imported medals have been used by the New South Wales company contracted to supply medals for the value of $710,842 for the Premier's Reading Challenge?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE: They are imported from New South Wales. You are wondering if they have been imported into New South Wales first, before they come to us. I will find out.
