Senator BARNETT (Tasmania) (14:40): Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Clearly, Minister, your advice is contrary to the advice of Mr McKim, including his legal advice. How is it that the government can waste $13 million of BER project funding at state schools slated for closure when not one Tasmanian state school has been connected to the NBN? Isn't this just another twist in the BER education fiasco, which is simply one of many fiascos that this government is pursuing at this time? Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! When there is silence we will proceed. The time for debating this is at the end of question time.
