LABOR FAILS TO DELIVER COMPUTERS TO SCHOOLS IN INDI
27-May-2010
New figures released today show that Kevin Rudd has broken his promise to provide a new computer for every student from year 9 to 12.
Only 1672 of the computers have been installed in schools out of 4936 students entitled to receive one.
This program has one year to go, there is no way Labor will deliver in the promised time. Nationally the program has delivered less than a quarter of the promised computers, and has blown out by $1.2 billion.
Parents and students in Indi are disappointed Labor has broken promises, and that is not the only one that will make it tougher for families in our community. The Rudd Labor Government has:
· Broken their promise to build 260 childcare centres across Australia and ‘end the double drop-off’ now only building 38 childcare centres.
· Broken their promise to build a Trades Training Centre in all 2650 high schools in Australia, with one school in ten building a centre that will have to be time-shared and only 12 in operation nationwide.
· Lost billions of taxpayer dollars in the School Hall program due to widely reported rorting, price gouging, waste and mismanagement.
Kevin Rudd has let the Australian people down with these broken promises. He can’t be trusted with another three years in Government.
