I conclude by saying: the message for the member for La Trobe is as follows. He should go back to his school community and say: ‘I didn’t want you to have this money.

But let us see some honesty from the member for La Trobe upfront. He opposed every dollar, every brick, every nail and every building project in every school in his electorate.
