Z.L. BETTISON House of Assembly Ramsay Apprenticeships and Traineeships The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay) (14:37): My question is to the Minister for Innovation and Skills. Can the minister explain why he hailed his training figures as a success when his department told him that South Australia's in-training figure as at 31 December 2018 is the second lowest figure on record since 31 December 1997? The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER House of Assembly The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Point of order. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The point of order is for the introduction of facts in that question— The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER House of Assembly The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Without seeking leave. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: —without seeking leave. I uphold that point of order. I am willing to give the member for Ramsay another go at rephrasing. If not, we will move to the member for Flinders and I will come back to her. The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON House of Assembly The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON: How would the minister deliver his government's promise of 20,800 new apprenticeships and traineeships over the next four years when, if he only managed to deliver 115 additional apprenticeships— The Hon.

GARDNER: Standing order 97. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: —standing order 97. Just to be crystal clear, I will repeat it: In putting any such question, a Member may not offer argument or opinion, nor may a Member offer any facts except by leave of the House… I have given the opportunity for the member for Ramsay to correct it. I think that still does go over the threshold. I will move to the member for Flinders. I will come back to the member for Ramsay.
