TAFE SA

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:37): Supplementary question. I ask the minister: has TAFE SA sought additional funding from government over and above the payments it receives for providing services through Skills for All?

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) (14:37): I thank the member for his supplementary. There have been negotiations over the last number of years where we have sat down with TAFE. I understand that there were some additional funds that were made available to them for this financial year and we are looking at provisions for the next financial year as well. These are all matters for budgetary considerations and they will progress in the normal way that those budget matters are progressed.
