COMPUTER LICENCE AGREEMENT

466 Mr HANNA (Mitchell) (31 March 2009).

1. How is the Department for Education and Children Services paying for computer software licences for computers that are provided by the Federal Government?

2. Who pays the $25 disposal fee for old computers to be recycled which was payable last year in order to get a $250 rebate from the State Government on software licensing costs?

The Hon. J.D. LOMAX-SMITH (Adelaide—Minister for Education, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the City of Adelaide): In May 2009, the Department of Education and Children's Services negotiated Microsoft licensing for all Round One computers provided through the Digital Education Revolution program to be covered by its existing contract.

No disposal fee was charged for computers as part of the Digital Education Revolution program.
