i don’t understand you

Mr MALONE (Mirani—LNP) (7.39 pm): [...]Like the member for Callide, I have absolute admiration for those teachers who teach in those very remote areas. I am not just saying that because I am married to a schoolteacher and have some real understanding of their trials and tribulations as my wife taught in schools for many years after we were married. It is with some knowledge that I understand the issues before teachers across Queensland and more particularly in my electorate.

Mr Wilson: She’s still trying to educate you, Ted, is she?

Mr MALONE: Indeed. I will not take that comment.

Mr Wilson: You just did!

Mr MALONE: She has given up on me, mate!
