Local Building the Education Revolution concerns

The Leader of the Opposition, Tony Abbott, and the Shadow Minister for Education, Christopher Pyne, joined Alex Hawke to announce the Coalition’s Real Action Plan to Stop Labor’s School Halls Waste.

Under the Coalition’s plan principals will decide on the priorities for each school, not the state bureaucracy. In addition, once the planned construction is complete, schools will retain any remaining money for other education or infrastructure initiatives.

Mr Abbott and Mr Pyne were able to meet members of the local community at Annangrove where the school community had sought a new hall under the BER, but was offered a library, despite already having a library.  Annangrove public school is a clear example of the need for taxpayers’ money to be spent wisely.
