| Tony Abbott is on 2GB is declining the invitation to call out Pauline Hanson’s comments suggesting autistic students should not be in mainstream class rooms. | |
| This is what Hanson said in the education debate. | |
| These kids have a right to an education by all means, but if there’s a number of them these children should actually go into a special classroom, looked after and given that special attention. | |
| Most of the time the teacher spends so much time on them they forget about the child who wants to go ahead in leaps and bounds in their education, but are held back by those. | |
| It’s no good saying we have to allow these kids to feel good about themselves and we don’t want to upset them and make them feel hurt. | |
| Abbott says there is a whole “industry” outraged at Pauline Hanson and supporting Hanson and he is not going to buy in. | |
