The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:21): Supplementary arising from the original answer, and noting that different states have taken different approaches in relation to this: can the minister advise what are some of the reasons that other jurisdictions have given for deciding to close schools?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:21): The honourable member—

The PRESIDENT: Minister.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: —was already treading on thin ice—

The PRESIDENT: Minister!

The Hon. S.G. WADE: —by engaging with me about education policy management of schools, but I can assure you, I am not responsible for other Labor and Liberal governments around the country.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! Leader of the Opposition, you are actually straying from the original answer. This is a really important subject, so I will allow you to continue, but please be mindful that your supplementary question should be arising from the original answer.
