Downer Preschool

MR STEFANIAK (Minister for Education) (5.53): Like Mr Wood, I normally do not take a lot of little nitpicking points, but whilst we are on the question of accuracy I note that today Mr Berry put out a press release in relation to the Downer Preschool in which he says in the third last paragraph:

Another concern arises from the fact that the figures relating to enrolments for next year which have been quoted by the Education Minister are wrong.

Mr Speaker, I would just like to say that they certainly are not wrong. I have consistently indicated how many students were enrolled at Downer Preschool as at 2 September. Figures have been quoted in relation to what has occurred subsequently. We are really comparing apples and oranges. I think Mr Berry's statement is the thing that is wrong. I would just like to correct that.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Assembly adjourned at 5.54 pm
