Legislative Council Fifty-Third Parliament, First Session (53-1) 53 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time TAFE SA TAFE SA The Hon. T.A. FRANKS Legislative Council TAFE SA The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:04): I have a supplementary question arising from the answer. Does the minister believe that under our current TAFE structure women's studies remains relevant and contemporary? The Hon. G.E. GAGO Legislative Council Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers TAFE SA The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:05): I certainly do. Women's studies is a most important course that is conducted here in South Australia. TAFE SA is the only educational facility that currently provides women's studies. They are provided at a range of different campuses throughout the state. Again, I am aware—and this is probably what the member is alluding to—that there have been some recent changes to I think it is the Noarlunga campus for the classes conducted this particular semester. Alternatives have been put in place for those students affected by those course changes, and we are obviously monitoring that very carefully and hope to have as many classes as possible reinstated in the next semester. The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Brokenshire, the minister was answering your question a while ago, when you got up and made a point of order. You might not have liked his answer, but there was definitely no point of order there, and I think there could have been other ways of expressing your concerns about his question. The Hon. Mr Gazzola.
