    The Education Minister says her working relationship with Associate Minister David Seymour, is excellent

    The Education Minister says her working relationship with Associate Minister David Seymour, is excellent


    That's despite Erica Stanford telling Q-and-A on Sunday Seymour overstepped in September, by announcing a crackdown on teacher only days at school -- because that's her decision.

    Stanford today says she has no other criticisms.

    She says they have a very good working relationship -- both care passionately about the same things, and she believes he is doing a great job.
