AUDITOR-GENERAL'S REPORT

In reply to Mr WILLIAMS (MacKillop) (13 November 2007).

The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT (Lee—Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Finance, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing): Program funding can be utilised on the training of all employees in the targeted sectors, both union and non-union members. In most cases, the projects being offered under the program are fully funded and the issue of fees should not arise. In limited cases, the program funding was provided on the basis of a contribution from others and it is possible, albeit unlikely, that some charges may be applied. The deeds do not specifically address the issue of differential charging for the provision of training.
