Queensland MP Andrew Laming has slandered the new Gonski school recommendations saying teachers need fewer holidays and more work because their time is unquantified and invisible.
Mr Laming’s brash comments which suggested the regulation of teaching hours put him at odds with fellow Liberal party members and teachers unions.
Correna Haythorpe, president of the Australian Education Union says the backbencher’s arguments are flawed as teachers work is "dictated by the reality of education across Australia".
