Jerry Buttimer: Nelson Mandela once stated that education is the most important weapon we can use to change the world, and he is right.

Richard Boyd Barrett: I have to say that Deputy Buttimer deserves ten out of ten for brass neck and loyalty to the party line when it comes to trying to put a positive spin on what is, frankly, a scandal and part of the looting of public resources.
