In terms of sequels, that is one of
the longest I have ever heard!
Obviously, we reject the entire
premise of the member's question. We reject absolutely the suggestion
that teachers feel undervalued under our government. We know that they feel
valued. We know that by continuing to negotiate with us in good faith, state
school teachers will get a good wages and conditions outcome. That is why we
are continuing to negotiate in good faith.
