David Seymour: Associate Education Minister on the criticism to the new school lunch programme

Associate Education Minister David Seymour is standing by his new school lunch programme despite concerns it won't deliver the same results.   He says the re-vamped scheme will save $107 million a year.  Seymour says the Government can reduce costs by bulk buying items and serving simple items like sandwiches and fruit.   He told Mike Hosking that the programme will put the same sorts of items in front of kids that are put in front of 75% of other students who aren't eligible for the scheme.   Seymour says the idea that that's somehow neglectful is frankly offensive to all those other parents and students.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
