MR SESELJA: That is not ideological. That is sensible. In my own educational experience I have been taught history. In primary school Australian history is not bad. In high school it is not very good at all. In college, through a great history teacher, I was inspired about history and took it on, and that is the power of history. I went on to study it at university.

We do want to see a situation where all Australian children learn about the key aspects of our history so that we can take pride in our history, the good and the bad. It is not about social engineering. It is not about history as some sort of exercise in political indoctrination. That is clearly not what is being argued by the Prime Minister. The matter of public importance was poorly argued by Mr Gentleman. He has failed to mention any of these issues.
