‘When I introduced my Bill to save Hurlstone Agricultural High School in the Upper House recently the government shunted it off to an inquiry with the help of Fred Nile and the Shooters Party.

‘This was obviously a delaying tactic to buy some time and take some heat off the four Labor Members in Macarthur, Andrew McDonald, Graham West, Geoff Corrigan and Phil Costa.

‘Barry O’Farrell and Andrew Stoner then introduced a Private Members Bill in the Lower House to stop the sale of the school.

‘Graham West, Geoff Corrigan and Phil Costa voted against the Bill.

‘Andrew McDonald, who said it was ‘time to stand up and be counted’ didn’t bother to turn up for the vote.

‘Team Macarthur should now be rebadged as the ‘Mice of Macarthur’ – we haven’t heard a squeak out of them.

‘The sale of Hurlstone Agricultural High School to fill their record budget black-hole is a travesty. 

‘Nobody has the right to trash our heritage for 30 pieces of silver.

‘The Mice of Macarthur can still stop the sale of the school if they can summon up the courage to walk into the Premier’s office and tell him its simply not on’, said Lynn.

‘But it’s a fair bet they will scarper back into their holes and not utter a single squeak’.
