I open by saying that the Deputy Prime Minister’s statement is false. It is not about what Chris Pyne said; it is the unmitigated truth. It happened to me personally. Fancy going to a country school that has had the most basic of facilities installed and having the principal say to you: ‘Paul, I’m terribly upset about this, but you can’t open it, mate. I’m sorry, you’re not allowed to unveil the plaque.’ Or worse still: ‘You may speak briefly.’ And within a couple of weeks the same thing happened again.
