Shadow Treasurer Joe Hockey with 2UE's John & Sandy

The coalition is unlikely to continue the schools computer roll-out programme if they gain government. Joe Hockey admits to 2UE Breakfast's John & Sandy it means no laptops for next year's Year 9 school students.

  • damn joe hockey. you wonder why most of the public hate pollies, its because they spin and squirm there way out of answering questions. i thought hockey was different, a fair dinkum guy. john asks him straight up whether he was going to scrap the computers in schools and he talks about mental health. geez

  • The more I hear Joe Hockey speak the more convinced I am that he is an idiot. He will not answer direct questions he is asked, but continues to rubbish the Labor Party with smears and false claims. My grandchildrens's schools are having halls built and they are more than excited over them, as it is something the schools have been wanting for yonks. The Liberals fell down badly with infrasture hence we have run down hospitals, roads, schools etc. We also had insulation put in our home and we have been extremely pleased with it and are most grateful to the Government for this opportunity. The Government cannot be blamed for the shonky operators - it was the previous Government who deregulated the industry.
