Garrett misleading parliament
Apr 4^th, 2013 at 7:13am

Garrett is using very old data to justify massive and unaffordable spending increases. More of the same Labor incompetence and lies. Garrett has been a disgrace as a Minister, first with the pink batts deaths and now trashing one of the most important portfolios - education...

They're neither 'massive' nor 'unaffordable'.

And the pink-batts lie has just about been done to death. Get over it.

Couldnt agree more, Kat. After being responsible for more than a thousand deaths on the boats, why would this government bother about wasting more young lives?

almost an own goal isn't it?

and given the mess in education and health thanks to the lying rodent I'd bet the literacy levels have either slumped or have had very little change.

Billions of dollars is massive and it is also unaffordable for this government, since they are up to their eyeballs in debt. As for the pink batts, tell that to the parents of the young men who died because of Garrett's inability to administer what should've been a simple and straightforward stimulus scheme.

Garrett has access to the data yet he couldn't find anything to condemn the LIBs

I don't think its wise for you to comment on others literacy and comprehension skills. One only needs to remind you of your lack of understanding regarding profits, migration act, refugee convention, etc etc etc

The issue to me was that numerous warnings had been presented to the Minister, it was the inaction which deserves the scrutiny. It was a Government sponsored package, so even though the individual work practices do come into question, there is a direct line of responsibility.
But you are right, another topic for another day - I was drawing attention to the common link only.
