ASBESTOS, SCHOOL

Mr PISONI (Unley) (14:20): Supplementary if I may, sir.

The SPEAKER: Yes, I will hear it.

Mr PISONI: Has the minister failed to adhere to her mandated asbestos management procedure which indicates schools must be inspected annually, given that the department's asbestos register, obtained under FOI, indicates that some schools have not been inspected for nine years and some schools have not been inspected at all?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: I don't believe the question is out of order for comment. The Minister for Education.

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:20): My understanding is that the asbestos register is actually managed by the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure.
