A sorely needed 100-day item

requesting an urgent meeting so they can plead the case for keeping the scheme, which provides free lunches to about 220,000 students across the country

$160m you say?  For something that parents of 2200,000 school kids should be doing every day as their sprogs are ejected out the door to state daycare, before they themselves attend to their daily work.  And if they're not, a decent wad to do some much needed door knocking to ascertain why not.

Seymour attacked free school lunches during the election campaign, describing them as “wasteful”, “unaffordable”, and a “marketing stunt”

Again Seymour gets it in the neck doing the coalition's dirty work.  "Won't someone think of the children?"

The swingeing cuts of the 100-day agenda continues to make me, one who remains on budget without government handouts, very happy.  I look forward to more cuts along similar lines.
