TAFE SA

Mr PISONI (Unley) (15:48): Supplementary, if I may, sir. The question was: how is TAFE effective when the subsequent amended bill hasn't gone through the parliament that was prepared to allow TAFE to be—

The SPEAKER: Yes, we've got the question. Minister.

The Hon. G. PORTOLESI (Hartley—Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (15:49): Well, TAFE is running, and this parliament supported legislation. What are blocked in the other house are consequential amendments.

Mr Pisoni: Which are needed for TAFE to be on its own—so what have you done?

The SPEAKER: I warn the member for Unley for the first time.

The Hon. G. PORTOLESI: TAFE is operational, it is working, and it became a statutory corporation on 1 November. It was supported by those opposite. I believe the member for Unley is referring or alluding to consequential amendments in the upper house that would seek to lock out the AEU. There was a conference scheduled this afternoon to try to resolve that matter, which I understand was not able to go ahead. I was certainly prepared, but other members were not able to go ahead. In any case, TAFE is operational and effective, and training is being delivered to South Australians.
