          <by role="member" id="4622">The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (15:00):</by>  I think it's about just under 2,500 that are enrolled in the courses that have been audited by ASQA. Yesterday, I also asked that TAFE contact all of those students so that they are not simply relying on information through the media, but are being told by their training authority what is occurring, and that they will be kept up to date as the matter makes progress over the next month, for the initial response. Then of course we need to hear from ASQA in terms of their view about the report that is being made.</text>
