"Labor is dangerously exposing our children to asbestos," said Dr Flegg.
"The Bligh government should be protecting our children and ensuring their safety.
"Parents won't buy the Bligh government's self-indulgent claim Queensland has the most transparent asbestos guidelines, especially when they've been caught out again deliberately trying to hide the presence of asbestos in schools from parents," said Dr Flegg.
"Why did the Bligh government refuse to make a public statement about the discovery of asbestos in science kits?
"It would seem Labor chose to keep the revelation under wraps to avoid adverse publicity, especially following more Queensland Health scandals including Joel Barlow's alleged $11 million fraud.
"Students, parents and teachers deserve straight answers and confidence in a State government that will put the interests of the school community before political interests and cover-up.
"We are still seeing far too many examples of children and teachers who are exposed to potentially deadly airborne asbestos fibres.
"The claims today are another shocking indictment on the Bligh Government and proof they are content to play Russian roulette with the lives of students and teachers," said Dr Flegg.
"The CanDo team is committed to restoring accountability in government.
"We will revitalize front line services for families," Dr Flegg said.
