Clayton Cosgrove on National's cuts to special education

[1986LaurenB]

Clayton Cosgrove thanks for your comittment!! Brittany is my sister & Julie my mum, both are fighters, so proud of the win!! National wanted to end this funding, leaving Brittany to sit at the back of mainstream classroom & achieve nothing, with funding she achieves something everyday, already she is beating the odds!

Great that we've a wonderful MP in our community! National Kate, never heard from only to give the good news, talk about stealing the glory! Clayton Cosgrove, gets my vote!

What a powerful fight, job well won!

The thought of even taking something so vital from a child who from what I saw from photos in the local papers, I have followed this & am proud of Clayton for this battle. Thankyou for always fighting for your people, pity your opposition isn't as dedicated. Local minister was not ever mentioned.

Well done, & to mother too.

Brittany looks like a happy bright wee girl, what a awaful act to even think about taking away such important therapy!!
