The Hon. PAUL GREEN: My question without notice is addressed to the Minister for Roads and Ports, representing the Minister for Education. Given that last year there were 286,437 reports of suspected child abuse and neglect made to the State and Territory authorities nationally, and given the Premier's support for the New South Wales parliamentarian bipartisan committee, the aim of which is to facilitate the introduction of the education program of Bravehearts to every New South Wales school, will the Minister make provision to rollout that education program to all New South Wales schools in the term of this budget? If not, why not?
The Hon. DUNCAN GAY: I thank the member for his important question. Is that your first question?
The Hon. Paul Green: It is my second question.
The Hon. DUNCAN GAY: Second, but it is still an important question. I did not get the first part of my response correct, but the remainder of it will be correct. The organisation referred to by the honourable member is held in high regard and does a lot of great work in our community. I will forward the question to the Minister for Education for a detailed response.
