The Naughty Corner

What an infantile lot these conservatives are.

When we're engaging in the extremely important education debate, putting forward initiatives that will see our young people better educated and our country better able to lead the world in maths and science, how does the Education Minister respond? (and it's page 47 for all of the Hansard aficionados out there)

"Naughty boy! You stole the idea didn't you"

"You will have to go to the naughty corner won't you"

Aside from the fact our policy initiatives were not stolen from anyone, is this the kind of government we want? One that will trivialise when faced with strong alternative policies? A government that would rather make themselves look silly than provide professional and responsive leadership?

Stand up. This country deserves much much better.
