I know the member for Sturt has not appreciated that—and the member for La Trobe is now repeating his words—but the message for the member for La Trobe is: the words of the member for Sturt are wrong and every time he repeats them he repeats an error and gets something wrong. The member for Sturt has not kept up with, studied or cared about the education revolution, other than to block and vote against things like the nation-building plan for schools and our transparency measures that delivered the My School website. On the question of working with schools under the Building the Education Revolution program, what the member for La Trobe would be aware of is this is a nation-building stimulus. He voted against it. I am sure he goes to his schools every day and says, ‘I don’t want you to have this money. I voted against you having this money.’ He should be doing that because that would be truthful.
