The Mike Hosking Breakfast
David Seymour: Associate Education Minister on the food safety complaints around school lunches

If the Labour Party had done it our way for five years,

they could have reduced the amount of debt that, ironically and sadly, these children at school will face when they graduate by $800 million.

That's how much they borrowed.

And now, by the way, Labour have announced their education policy.

They want to go back to that.

The Mike Hosking Breakfast
David Seymour: Associate Education Minister on the food safety complaints around school lunches

Yep.

Look, it's one of those funny things.

David Seymour: Associate Education Minister on the food safety complaints around school lunches

I campaigned against the whole school lunch program.

The Mike Hosking Breakfast
David Seymour: Associate Education Minister on the food safety complaints around school lunches

I don't think we should do it.

But I got into a coalition government where I had two partners that said I couldn't cancel it.

Then, ironically, I ended up being the person in charge, which was kind of funny in some ways.

But once we got the job, you do the job.

And what I've done is I have saved the taxpayer about $300 million in the last two years.

The Mike Hosking Breakfast
David Seymour: Associate Education Minister on the food safety complaints around school lunches

That's serious money.

that won't be going on the credit card bill that future generations won't have to pay off.

David Seymour: Associate Education Minister on the food safety complaints around school lunches

So I don't mind.

The Mike Hosking Breakfast
David Seymour: Associate Education Minister on the food safety complaints around school lunches

I mean, people beat me up in the media every day anyway, so if I can get beaten up and save taxpayer money, that's kind of a bonus.

The Mike Hosking Breakfast
David Seymour: Associate Education Minister on the food safety complaints around school lunches

Look, I certainly hope that's not going to happen.

The Mike Hosking Breakfast
David Seymour: Associate Education Minister on the food safety complaints around school lunches

As far as I'm concerned, it's certainly not.

People want three parties working together to solve problems.
