Career and Workforce Development Centre

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:27): My questions are also to the Minister for Automotive Transformation, regarding the Warradale Workforce Development Centre. Given that staff at the Career and Workforce Development Centre at Warradale provided two ICT information sessions my questions are:

1. Were staff trained to provide ICT training at the Career and Workforce Development Centre?

2. How many staff are currently employed at the centre, and is it open to the public every day?

3. As there have been no further ICT or professional development sessions, how many computers are currently held at the centre?

4. When did they last receive servicing, such as security upgrades, patches, platform—

The Hon. K.J. Maher: Who is 'they'?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: 'They' is the computers.

The Hon. K.J. Maher: 'They', the computers?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: Yes, were you listening? Do you want me to start again? Okay, I will start again.

1. Were staff trained to provide ICT training at the centre?

2. How many staff are currently employed at the centre, and is it open to the public every day?

3. (This is about the computers.) How many computers are at the centre?

4. When did they last receive any upgrades, such as service patches or those sorts of things?

5. Given that the centre opened almost five years ago, when will the computers be replaced and how will the minister justify spending taxpayers' money on computers that are no longer being used for training?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (14:29): I thank the honourable Deputy Leader of the Opposition for her questions and I am glad they have had a few months off to come up with these killer questions that are very close to bringing the government down. They are great questions, they are a rehash of what they went through last year, very similar questions. I do not have information with me about the details to do with service patches on a computer in an office designed to help workers in the south that they want to close down, but I am happy to go away and find the answers for the questions that the honourable member has asked, including her fixation with service patches.

The PRESIDENT: Supplementary, Hon. Ms Lensink.
