Corrinne Grant says: This time around, education actually was an election issue. The Gonski report became a shared vision between both parties and hey presto, we could breath a sigh of relief and vote for either the ALP or LNP. Party poppers all ’round! Yeah. No. The party poppers have turned into party poopers. According to Christopher Pyne, Gonski is ‘incomprehensible’, so it’s going. That’s it. Irrespective of the fact that at least NSW considers they have a legally binding agreement and irrespective of the fact that people voted for the LNP on the assurance Gonski would stay, Pyne is getting rid of it because he doesn’t understand it. Maybe if Gonski had been around when he was at school, he’d be able to read legislation like a proper grown up politician now. Rage Level: It depends who you’re angry at. Do you want to be angry at Pyne? Probably not worth it. This is a bloke who has basically said he needs someone with sock puppets to explain the legislation to him. It’s not his fault he’s dumber than a hat full of hammers. Maybe the real anger should lie at the feet of a party who is so willing, so soon after the election, to completely renege on a core promise. Then again, given Abbott’s penchant for doing nothing except re-animating Howard’s policies, it’s likely he’ll tell us Gonski was a non-core promise after all. Can’t wait for the front page of the Telegraph to call Abbott a liar and demand he be voted out. I’m guessing that will happen around the time our non-existent Science Minister gives the CSIRO money to invent flying pigs.
