Christopher Pyne before the election said he was on the same page as the government and Gonski funding model was a "unity ticket".

After the election: "I believe the school funding model that was implemented by the Howard government is a good starting point for a school funding model".

So it's back to the Howard years when the government funded private schools to the detriment of state schools,

Then he ran from the press conference without taking questions.

I keep hoping something will cause his head to explode. At the very least, his pants should catch fire.
