Julia Gillard (Lalor, Australian Labor Party, Deputy Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

Given the questions of so-called political interference that have been raised by the opposition, I think the words of the LNP candidate in the Queensland election are probably very relevant. Mr Knox goes on to say:

If I were Mr Rudd I would be keen to support a project that is ready to go.

Who is ready to support a project that is ready to go? Mr Knox is, the member for Petrie is and this side of the House is. The member for Dickson is not because he does not want this school to get assistance, and every member over there is opposed to investing in their schools in the biggest school modernisation program this country has ever seen. How amazing!
