Text

Thank you, Minister. Last week, Michelle Guy said that the Minister:
"has pushed his own department to take a case on religious education all the way to the Supreme Court."
Would the Minister like to take this opportunity to point out the basic factual inaccuracy in that statement and why it is important that Members get their facts right when making a public statement?

Assessment

Not analysed

This is the same MLA’s follow-up within the exchange on their own question. It is analysed together with that question and is not counted separately, so one question is never counted twice.
