 Ms KEALY (Lowan) (14:37): (6528) My constituency question is for the Minister for Education, and the information I seek is when a replacement portable building will be provided to Minyip Primary School to replace the administration building irreparably damaged during a Victorian School Building Authority-managed restumping project. It is absolutely astounding that the VSBA signed off on this building project. It was completed over the summer school holidays, and now we have got a building that is 40 centimetres higher than it was previously. The school had to build their own set of steps so that they could enter the building, and the damage internally now is horrific. There are cracks in almost every wall, a section of ceiling is falling in and an internal window is about to pop inwards. It simply is not safe to be used and, even worse, kids can get under the building and easily access live cabling. I therefore ask the minister: when will a replacement portable building be provided to Minyip Primary School so that the administration block can be made safe to support the students and the staff?
