          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:38):</by>  In terms of trying to understand the balancing of the online and the physical access to courses that she referred to, would the minister take on notice the proportion of metropolitan and country students who access services through the online option? I'm seeking to understand to what extent fair access for country students is still being provided through a physical presence.</text>

I don't have access to that information. I would invite the honourable member to directly liaise with TAFE SA to obtain that sort of operational detail.</text>
