parliament

It’s not often that a battling little teachers’ organisation like the one I work for gets a mention in Parliament. But we made it today! Right there in Hansard (I just looked it up.) How about that? Enshrined forever as an inconsequential political pawn in the ongoing slanging match between the opposition and the government. As a consequence we are now on a first name basis with the shadow minister for education (“Just call me Vic”)! But do you think this means we’ll get our funding back?? Do they care as much as they seemed to this afternoon?? Time will tell, I guess.
