Ms LAWRIE - 2013-05-14
Before the election you promised to increase resources to schools. Your budget today cuts the education budget by $47m in real terms. Your budget formally cuts 130 teachers out of our classrooms. You have refused the Gonski investment, some $300m that would have come to our schools, particularly schools across the remote and regional parts of the Northern Territory. That money would employ teachers, not sack them as you are doing in the Education budget being handed down today. Why are you slashing education? Why are you cutting teachers from our classrooms?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, I thank the member for her question. I will not be taking questions on the budget.
