That would complicate matters more would it not ? The poor teacher is taking 
his product to another DEECD school isn't he or is it a private school he is 
moving to now ? If he is working for DEECD then all DEECD schools should 
have access to it I would have thought. Then again, the more I think about 
this the more confusing it becomes. Why ? Because the information needed to 
select the correct answer with the application of the Copyright Amendment 
(Digital Agenda) Act 2000 missing.
