MPs uninvited in wake of Christmas 'cancelling' fallout

Key points

• Launceston College has withdrawn invitations to politicians for its upcoming celebrations. The principal said the school supports union action over Premier Jeremy Rockliff's handling of a complaint.
• The complaint followed a social media post by the premier about Christmas references at end-of-year school events. The Australian Education Union has called on politicians to stay away from Tasmanian public schools unless the premier apologises.
• Labor Senator Helen Polley has also urged the premier and Education Minister Jo Palmer to apologise. The premier and education minister have been contacted for comment.
