4462 (2024). Dr Lawrence Xu-Nan to the Associate Minister of Education

4462 (2024). Dr Lawrence Xu-Nan to the Associate Minister of Education: What reports, briefings, memos, aides-memoire, notes or written advice, if any, has he received on the effect of fining parents for illness-related school absences, listed by agency, title and date received?

Hon David Seymour: I have not received any written advice about fining parents for illness-related school absences. This answer does not cover members of my office who receive a large amount of material every week. Asking them to collate that material would require substantial collation and research and prevent them from undertaking their substantive roles.
