THE QUEENSLAND Department of Education and the Education Minister have refused to answer questions about how long asbestos had been at the school.
One day before students finished the year at the school, Principal Michael Hurst issued a notice to parents on December 8, stating asbestos had been discovered in A Block flooring.
The Observer requested information from Department of Education concerning two issues:
- When the school discovered asbestos listed in the Built Environment Materials Information Register BEMIR.
- When the asbestos was listed in the Built Environment Materials Information Register.
After it was asked when the asbestos was noticed in the register and when it was listed in the register, the spokeswoman said “the department doesn’t have anything further to add to the statement.”
Mandatory CCP Virus Vaccinations for Schools ‘On the Table’: QLD Minister
Queensland Education Minister Grace Grace won’t rule out a mandatory CCP virus vaccination program for school students, teachers and staff but said it would be an issue for the national cabinet and Australia’s federal government.
“We would look at what is available and what the national cabinet would do in line with the federal government,” Grace told a budget estimates hearing on Wednesday (pdf).
She added: “Everything is on the table.”
Grace’s remarks came in response to questions by Liberal National Party MP Christian Rowan, who had also asked the education department’s director-general, Tony Cook, about the department’s vaccination plan for students, teachers, and school staff.
