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.
