Would You Like to Ask the Premier a Question About Education?
Even though it might be a while before the Premier of Queensland makes it back to Hervey Bay that doesn’t mean that you can’t ask her a question.
The people of Queensland will have an opportunity to have their say on the future of the education system, during the first on-line People’s Question Time next week.
The Premier is inviting members of the public to send in their questions ahead of the forum, to be held on Friday 26 February.
“This forum is an opportunity for the people of Queensland to make their voices heard on the best way to ensure all Queensland children are given a flying start,” Ms Bligh said.
“The Education Minister and I, together with education experts and stakeholders, will take part in the forum giving Queenslanders the chance to ask questions and put forward suggestions.
“I urge Queenslanders to get online and get involved in this important conversation about our children’s future.
“Whether it is new ideas to get parents reading with their children or questions about shifting Year 7 into high school, I want to hear your views.
Ms Bligh said questions can be submitted in the lead up to the forum via www.qld.gov.au/questiontime, or people watch live and lodge questions online during the event.
“From the success of last year’s on-line Integrity and Accountability Forums it was clear that Queenslanders valued the opportunity to have greater access to their Government,” Ms Bligh said.
“This forum will be the first of a regular program of People’s Question Time, which will take community consultation to a new level.
“Visual and audio footage of the forum will be streamed live via the web for people to watch online.
“This means, no matter where they live, Queenslanders can have their say and ask the questions they want to hear answered.”
The forum will be streamed live on 26 February 12:00-1:00pm. For more information, or to view the live stream go to www.qld.gov.au/questiontime.

Just why would you ask the Premier a question on education?
Scrap education, keep the populace dumb, there are no jobs, pay them the dole and give them a free lolly allowance every now and then.
No one really cares, or am I just being cynical?
