WADE Legislative Council WorkReady The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:51): I ask the minister: does the minister have an estimate of the net FTE job gain or loss in TAFE in 2015-16 as a result of the WorkReady changes announced last week? 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 WorkReady 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) (14:51): I have already indicated in this place that TAFE is an independent statutory authority and the specific staffing numbers vary. They are not based just on the subsidised training places; TAFE's business is much larger than that, and TAFE expand and contract their staff as their demand needs.
