SKILLS FOR ALL

Mr PISONI (Unley) (14:34): As a supplementary, why are Skills for All applicants who are rejected not entitled to feedback after that rejection?

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: On a point of order, that is actually part of the question he asked a moment ago.

The SPEAKER: Yes. Does the minister wish to respond?

The Hon. T.R. KENYON (Newland—Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for Recreation and Sport) (14:35): I apologise to the member for Unley: I should have said that I am very happy to organise that. If he will pass me the details of those companies, I am happy to arrange for them to talk to the department. Obviously we have to be careful to not give away too much detail so that they do not just simply go and write up what we want to hear; it needs to be an objective process as far as possible. If we can help companies through that process, I am more than pleased for my department to meet with these companies and RTOs, and if the member for Unley would like to pass me some of the names of the RTOs, I am happy to make sure that it is followed up.

Mr Pisoni: You know who they are—I've been writing to you.

The SPEAKER: Order!
