We’ve seen no shortage of stupid statements out of Steve Dozspot over the years.
But this afternoon’s effort really takes the cake.
He starts by thundering:
BOURKE SAYS ‘NO’ TO EQUALITY FOR CHILDREN WITH A DISABILITY
Steady on! Would Chris Bourke really say such a thing???
Why no. No he wouldn’t. What he has done (even in Steve’s own media release) is less about disability equality and more about the public education system being funded for children who are in public education:
Chris Bourke told Estimates today that he is not interested in considering giving children with a disability at non-government schools the same transport subsidy provided to 600 government students.
Which really seems fair enough.
