          <by role="member" id="5084">Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:52):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Education. Can the minister categorically deny that any NationBuilder links were embedded in the Aldinga school survey—yes or no?</text>

          <by role="member" id="4343">The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education) (14:52):</by>  The first I was made aware of this allegation was about six minutes ago by the member for West Torrens. I was then provided with further allegation without evidence by the member for Wright about a minute and a half ago and I am now advised that the member for Croydon also has some interest in the matter.</text>
        <text id="20210401fe63983232b1446b80000594">Rather than cast aspersions on public servants who have done their job with diligence, as far as I understand, within the education department for many years under both Liberal and Labor governments—and certainly no aspersions have previously been cast on this group of public servants that they might be Liberal Party affiliated—I continue to invite and I certainly would prefer it if the Labor Party would provide some skerrick of evidence to back up their allegations, rather than undermine the important work that is done in community engagement for this very exciting project, which I think is going to provide an outstanding educational service for the people of Adelaide's southern suburbs and near regions.</text>
