Australian Greens Education spokesperson Senator Mehreen Faruqi has said that Alan Tudge\u2019s appointment as Education Minister is a disturbing development.
\nSenator Faruqi said:
\n\u201cAnyone who a federal court judge has found to have acted criminally is not fit to be a minister of the government.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s no surprise that this is the sort of \u2018talent\u2019 the Prime Minister wants to elevate in the government\u2019s efforts to defund and privatise education.
\n\u201cThis disturbing appointment shows how little the government values the education system.
\n\u201cWhile many educators will be glad to see the back of Dan Tehan, sadly his replacement is no better.
\n\u201cWhat we need is a return to free and universal early learning, fully-funded public schools, well-funded and fee-free TAFEs and universities, and serious government commitment to a world-class education system to drive our rebuild after the pandemic,\u201d she said.
