          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:28):</by>  Of course, everyone makes a choice as to the schooling they provide their children. Let's be clear: there is a significant cohort of people who adopt home schooling as their preferred mode of education delivery, but for people to be in the public domain scurrilously spreading rumours that it's unsafe to send your kids to school is not consistent with the public health advice. I invite the Hon. Tammy Franks and the Hon. Kyam Maher—those who claim that we need to back the science when it comes to climate change—let's back the science when it comes to public health, too.</text>
