Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakairihia e te Minita Mātauranga a Christopher Pyne tētahi pikitia o tētahi pihikete waimarie ki runga i a Twitter, nā reira he maha ngā kōrero i puta mai i ngā kaiwhakamahi pāpāho pāpori e whakaaro ana mō te nekehanga. Ko te pikitia, i whakairihia ki Twitter i te po o te Wenerei, i whakaatu i tetahi pihikete waimarie me te korero: 'Kia kaha ki taau e mahi nei. Ka tae wawe to whaainga.' Ko nga korero i muri i te kore o Pyne i whakaponohia te Senate i te Turei ki te tuku i ana ture whakarereke whare wananga i tenei wiki mo te wa tuarua, i akiaki i nga tono mai i nga mahi kia peia a Pyne, i kii a Sky News. I tukuna e Christopher Pyne te pikitia ki Twitter i te Wenerei, i puta ai he nui o nga tawai mai i nga tangata e whakapae ana ki a ia mo te tango tohutohu mai i te pihikete. Kua kite te pou i te mahi a Pyne i runga i te pāpāho pāpori, me te tini o nga kaiwhakamahi e whakahe ana ki a ia mo te ahua o te tango i nga tohutohu mai i te pihikete. I tuhia e Rose Steele: 'Kia hāngai koe i to #highered ki te tautoko a te iwi, kaua ki te pihikete waimarie' 'E pai ana ahau ki nga Minita kia kaua e tango i o raatau tohutohu mai i nga pihikete', i tuhia e Lady of Polly Tricks. E whakamatau ana a Pyne ki te whakarerekē i te pūnaha mātauranga, e whakatakoto ana i ngā ture e āhei ai ngā whare wānanga ki te whakarite i a rātau ake utu, ā, ka whiua ā-pūtea te hunga kua puta ki te kura kāore i utua a rātau nama ākonga, e ai ki te Sydney Morning Herald. Ahakoa te wā tuarua i kore ai ia e whakapā atu ki te Rōpū Kaunihera, kua oati a Pyne e kore ia e whakarere i tana pakanga mō te mātauranga teitei. I a ia e korero ana ki te Nine news, ka mea a Pyne: 'Kaore au e whakarere, kaore, kaore au e whakarere. He mea nui rawa kia whakaaetia e te Rōpū Kaimahi, he hunga whai wāhitanga tōrangapū, me te Rōpū Kākāriki, he ōrite, hei whakangaromanga i tēnei whakarerekētanga.' Kua kī te kaikorero mō te mātauranga teitei o te hoariri a Kim Carr ko te hononga o Pynne ki te Rōpū Kaunihera kei te 'kino' ināianei. 'Ko te whakamataku o tenei minita, ko tana whakamataku, ko tana whakamataku ka waiho noa te iwi,' i kii a Senator Carr ki a ABC i te Wenerei. 'Kua tae ki te wā kia whakaaro ia ki tōna heke mai, ā, ki te kore, me tuku ia ki te mahi.' Kua puta ake te whakaaro kei te whakaaro te kāwanatanga ki te whakarewa i tētahi whakakorenga takirua mō te pire mātauranga.
I whakairihia e Christopher Pyne he whakaahua ki runga i a Twitter i te ahiahi o te Wenerei. He maha nga kaiwhakamahi i whakahe ki a ia mo te ahua o te 'whakaaro i nga tohutohu mai i te pihikete' I rahua a Pyne ki te whakapā atu ki te Rōpū Kaunihera kia whakaaetia ana ture whakarerekētanga whare wānanga. Kua oati ia kia kaua e whakarerea tana tono ki te whakarereke i te maatauranga teitei. Kua tono te hoariri kia peia a Pyne mo te hinganga o te Senate.
