Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1119 asked in the Legislative Council on 7 November 2018 by Hon Donna Faragher

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

COMO SECONDARY COLLEGE — FEDERAL LABOR CANDIDATE VISIT

1119. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Minister for Education and Training:

This is a question without notice. I refer to the visit by Tanya Plibersek, MP, and the Labor federal candidate for Swan, Hannah Beazley, to Como Secondary College earlier this week on Monday, 5 November.

(1) In what capacity was the candidate visiting the college?

(2) Did the candidate seek formal permission from the minister to visit the college?

(3) Has the minister changed the protocols with respect to federal candidates visiting schools; and, if yes, what are the changes?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

(1)–(3) I will answer the last bit first. No, there has been no change to the protocol. I was advised that Tanya Plibersek was visiting the school. I am not sure, but I will check, whether my office was advised that the candidate would be there, but the protocols have not changed.

Hon Donna Faragher: So you will come back to me?

Hon SUE ELLERY: Yes, I will check.
