Regional Workforce Planning

The Hon. J.S. LEE (Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:51): Supplementary: specifically, has the minister participated at the forum that was held in December last year?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:52): I wasn't at that forum. I can't recall whether I received an invitation. There must have been something else on at that time. I think it is important to note that a lot of organisations are doing a lot of important work. It is the role of my department, among others, to provide briefings on that and to feed that into the various plans that are being developed for our state.
