Senator KIM CARR (Victoria—Minister for Human Services) (14:54): I think that you would be aware, Senator, that the provision of the facilities at Wadeye are extremely good, that the hostel arrangements have commenced operations and that the staff at the boarding facilities conducted an orientation program for 25 prospective students in early December 2012. It is equally true that this is a new experience for these remote families and for some it provides an opportunity that they otherwise would not have. It is not simply a case of saying that there is another facility in the region; it is about ensuring the successful completion of education programs, and I think that the students and families at Wadeye are entitled to a good education— Senator Scullion: Mr President, on a point of order on relevance—and I know we only have 12 seconds. My question was very simple. I wondered whether there was an explanation why 20 of the 21 students currently living within metres of the boarding facility and attending exactly the same school they would have attended in any event, somehow attempts to meet the motivation of the program. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! I do draw the minister's attention to the question. Senator KIM CARR: I think that it is fair to say that an unfortunate fact of life is that many parents in the Wadeye community have missed out on a decent education. (Time expired)
