          <by role="member" id="3404">The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (14:56):</by>  My question is to the Treasurer, representing the Minister for Education. With regard to organisations that provide religious and cultural activities to schools, can the minister advise:</text>
        <text id="20190212e545ed8dbad147ae90000270">1.&amp;#x9;What oversight the education department has on these programs to ensure they are appropriate for children and are age appropriate?</text>
        <text id="20190212e545ed8dbad147ae90000271">2.&amp;#x9;Is the content of these programs audited?</text>
        <text id="20190212e545ed8dbad147ae90000272">3.&amp;#x9;Are there any standards or departmental policies on the content of these programs to ensure they are not being used to recruit new followers and that the focus is on comparative religious education?</text>
