NationBuilder

Mr BOYER (Wright) (14:48): My question is to the Premier. How does the embedding of a NationBuilder link in an education department survey square with the Premier's description earlier this week of NationBuilder links in government media releases being an inadvertent cut-and-paste from the Liberal Party's mail distribution system?

The SPEAKER: Does the leader rise on the point of order? No.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, members on my right!

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The question, as it was framed on the second occasion, to my observation includes at least two matters that are premised upon fact or argument. The Minister for Education has provided a response going potentially to a point of order but also potentially to a response. I will give the Minister for Education an opportunity to respond further, should he wish. The Minister for Education does not wish to respond further.
