Last week I had the pleasure of attending Building the Education Revolution, or BER, ceremonies across my electorate at Lakes P-9, Highlands Primary School and Bolinda Primary School. All of the schools I went to were very pleased to have this investment in jobs and infrastructure for their students now and into the future. Not one of them complained—unlike those opposite. In fact, some of them said that it was the first time in 20 years that they had federal government infrastructure spending on their school. It took a Labor government to deliver that after so many years of neglect.
