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.”
