TAFE SA

Mr PISONI (Unley) (14:44): My question is for the Minister for Further Education and Skills. Can the minister advise if TAFE SA has plans to close its childcare centres?

The Hon. G. PORTOLESI (Hartley—Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (14:44): There is no secret that, a while ago, TAFE declared that it was going to move out of the business of providing child care. The member would be well aware of that. He is also well aware of the fact that TAFE is now an independent statutory authority. He supported the legislation that enabled that to happen. So we will continue to work closely with TAFE and with families.
