Once again, the Leader of the Opposition is scaremongering. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Thank you, members. Dr E. CONSTABLE : We are working very hard on a program of efficiencies in education, and no programs for children in classrooms will be cut. Mr E.S. Ripper : Not only are you cutting, you won’t be accountable for it! How hopeless is that? Dr E. CONSTABLE : The Leader of the Opposition should come to the estimates hearings.
