          <by role="member" id="5084">Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (15:31):</by>  Supplementary: my question is obviously to the Minister for Education. At any point, did the Leader of Government Business canvass the sitting schedule with government MPs prior to the email being sent this afternoon?</text>

          <by role="member" id="4343">The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education) (15:31):</by>  I thank the member for the question. The member was a member of cabinet so understands how that process works. I believe people asked questions about it from time to time. I can't remember specific members, but I do remember saying to several people that we weren't going to be sitting in school holidays. I think any member who asked a specific question about dates, I was happy to at least give that assurance. I don't recall any other occasions.</text>
