JUDY MELBOURNE: Isn’t the general populace just getting a little bit tired (well very tired really) of all these “responsible” ministers and heads of departments who don’t know what is going on under their watch, particularly with the ongoing stories of attacks on school children, both in and out of school. If they can’t work it out for themselves, they need to practice the art of digging for information constantly. Less socialising and taking off overseas. Do the job you are elected or promoted to do. Fix it up!

It’s time for these incompetents to step aside and pass the responsibility onto those who are able to take their jobs very seriously. My sympathy with all the parents and the children at this point.
