Joe O'Toole (Independent)

I am delighted Senator Fitzgerald has raised this issue, as it is one I have raised time and again. It all reverts to the non-implementation of the Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Act 2004. The sections which deal with the matters mentioned by Senator Fitzgerald have not been commenced. It is crucial that the Minister discusses this issue in the House. The Act passed through the House with support from all sides. However, we have been sold a pup in that the relevant sections have not been commenced. Various sections could be commenced at a very low cost. I ask that this be done.
