Marine Discovery Centre

Mr COWDREY (Colton) (14:52): My question is to the Minister for Education. Will the government renew funding to the Marine Discovery Centre and, if not, why not? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr COWDREY: The Marine Discovery Centre at the Star of the Sea school in Henley Beach has been supported for years by Labor and Liberal governments in recognition of the important programs it runs, with over 7,000 students from all schooling sectors visiting each year.

The Hon. B.I. BOYER (Wright—Minister for Education, Training and Skills) (14:53): I thank the member for Colton for the question. I will have to take it on notice around the detail. On the face of it, of course, it sounds like a very worthwhile program, deserving of the support of this government, but I will find out some further information and come back to the house.
