House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time TAFE SA TAFE SA Mr GARDNER House of Assembly Morialta TAFE SA Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (15:05): My question is to the Minister for Higher Education and Skills. Is the minister now able to confirm whether the TAFE CEO and senior executives will or will not be receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in bonuses in the most recent financial year? The Hon. S.E. CLOSE House of Assembly Port Adelaide Minister for Education and Child Development Minister for Higher Education and Skills TAFE SA The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (15:05): As I have said repeatedly, this is a corporatised organisation and this is a matter that is the decision of the board. I have had a conversation—several conversations, in fact—with the chair of the board on this very subject. He is very clear that the decision that he and the board will make will take notice of what has occurred. The report that has been received from ASQA is critical of TAFE, and that will be considered by the board; so, too, will the response and the way in which ASQA responds to TAFE's report later in October.
