Prime Minister Scott Morrison is being asked whether he supports Education Minister Dan Tehan's statement that the Victorian government is taking a "sledgehammer" to the state's education system. In a sign of escalating tensions over school closures, Mr Tehan said Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews reluctance to reopen schools was a "failure of leadership".
" The federal government has been firm in its desire to see all face-to-face learning resume by June but Victoria has said it wants to take its own path. As it stands, 97 per cent of students in Victoria are completing classes via distance education. When asked, Health Minister Jenny Mikakos called on the Prime Minister to clarify if he supports the education minister.
ScottMorrisonMP DanTehanWannon The Labour Victorian government is run by the Unions and by destroying the education system, they believe they can rebuild it in their image, which will be disastrous!
ScottMorrisonMP DanTehanWannon Not true. The sledgehammer is hitting everything. Well, that not quite true either, it's not hitting the public service.
ScottMorrisonMP DanTehanWannon Do people honestly think that Tehan went in there (ABC) and made those statements and then the retraction off the top. It was a strategy to have a crack at Andrew's and stimulate the debate that is now taking place. So yeah. He'll support his minister.

Dan Tehan attacks Daniel Andrews over handling of schools during coronavirus crisisThe Morrison government has launched a scathing attack on Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews over the controversial issue of opening schools during the COVID-19 crisis. Followed by a Covid19 cluster being announced at a Vic school. Pity Tehan did not get slammed with this news The more Morrison pushes this the more trust he looses among healthcare workers and teachers. How about the federal government takes a quick look-see at the Constitution, and gets back in their lane.

Victorian primary school closed after teacher contracts COVID-19 | Sky News AustraliaA Victorian primary school in Epping will be closed for three days, after a teacher tested positive for coronavirus.\n\nVictorian Health Minister Jenny Mikakos said a thorough cleaning of Meadowglen primary school would occur due to the teacher's recent onsite presence. \n\nParents, carers and staff were contacted by the school on Sunday morning and contract tracing was now underway. \n\nIt comes just hours after federal Education Minister Dan Tehan accused the state’s Premier Daniel Andrews of a “failure in leadership” by refusing to reopen schools along with other states.\n I do find it interesting that the Victorian health minister had no hesitation naming the school (even though it’s been shut for weeks) but refuses to name the meat works, where the cluster is. You might like to consider how many would've caught the virus had the school been OPEN. With parents back at work, grandparents wd have been picking up their grandchildren who certainly could have been infected. Cd have been a catastrophic outcome. Thankfully school was CLOSED!
