"The Prime Minister doesn’t want to answer questions in the House.” 

Of course he doesn't: the public and "the schoolchildren in the gallery" he "wonders about" would finally realize he doesn't know what he is talking about.  Pretty sad that as "leader" of the government our "prime minister" is too afraid to explain and defend his own government's budget.  Even sadder that he takes the public for being stupid enough to believe his non-attendance in the House is about making parliament more "productive" and "family oriented"!
