TAFE SA Port Pirie

The Hon. G.G. BROCK (Frome) (14:48): My question is to the Minister for Education. Minister, can you please advise the house if there have been any discussions or the development of any plans by your office, your department or any member of your staff in your office or the department that would involve a reduction in the current space available at the Port Pirie TAFE for teaching and, if so, how would these impact upon education services available for Port Pirie and surrounding locales?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education) (14:49): I thank the member for the question. Not to my knowledge or recollection. Obviously, TAFE is somewhat set up in a slightly different way from other parts of the Public Service with its own board, and I will make inquiries. I forget the list of people that the member included in his question, so I will check with TAFE to see if they have anything further to add. If they do, I will bring that back to the house.
