James NEWBURY (Brighton) (09:54): Before the last election the Labor Party promised two schools in my community funding upgrades. These promises of $9.8 million for Hampton Primary School and $11.7 million for Gardenvale Primary School were ironclad commitments matched by the Liberal Party, yet after the election Labor broke their promises and have refused to provide the money in the budget. Only a pack of lying cheats would rip off children, and that is what the Labor Party is: a pack of lying cheats.

The SPEAKER: Member for Brighton, I ask you to apologise to the house for the use of inappropriate language.

James NEWBURY: I apologise.
