Blast by Queensland's John-Paul Langbroek threatens Gonski deal | The Australian
LABOR’S hopes of signing Queensland up to a school funding deal have been dealt a blow in a scathing attack on the reforms by the state’s education minister.
John-Paul Langbroek said the commonwealth won’t budge in negotiations despite his federal counterpart, Education Minister Bill Shorten, saying he is open to further talks…
“Bill Shorten can come on to your show with his velvet tones and try to make out that he’s offering us a lot more and that he wants to sit down and talk, while his boss (Prime Minister Kevin Rudd) is out there slagging us in a press conference,” he told ABC Radio.
“It’s not constructive and shows that Kevin Rudd is a charlatan as well.”
