I didn't come here to engage in petty political attacks; I came here to represent the stakeholders in this sector that I have been engaging with throughout the course of this discussion and debate. They respectfully have continued to say that 25 per cent is what it will take to get pay parity with primary and secondary school educators. They continue to say that 25 per cent is what it will take to value the incredibly important work they do educating our kids. You can keep your political attacks to yourself and consider the 25 per cent increase they're demanding.
