          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:43):</by>  In the case of Jessica, I can't recall exactly the course. There are options in relation to private training provision, but that's not necessarily the total answer to the question of the Jessicas of this world. It could be TAFE providing the alternative option at another site or another location or online or at another facility.</text>
        <text id="20180906dfda3d9193e040e9b0000118">That's what the former Labor government did. They said to the Jessicas of this world, 'TAFE will continue to provide services or training,' but in some cases the former Labor government said, 'There is a private training option, whether it be through an industry sector like the motor traders or whatever it might happen to be. There is an industry training option or a private training option or TAFE will continue to provide the option.'</text>
        <text id="20180906dfda3d9193e040e9b0000119">That's what the former Labor government said to the Jessicas of this world, and I would be very surprised if the Hon. Ms Bourke, in an honest moment in quiet reflection after she leaves the question time, wouldn't agree that's what her government did in the past, and indeed that's what this government is going to do.</text>
