AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION

The Hon. C.V. SCHAEFER (14:59): My questions are to the minister representing the Minister for Employment, Training and Further Education. Does the government have a strategic plan for post-secondary education for those wishing to engage in agriculture in this state? If so, is it published? Where can it be accessed? What input, if any, did the government have in the decision to remove agricultural training and the ag science degree from Roseworthy campus? Is there any intention to use the residential facilities at Roseworthy campus and, if so, what will they be used for and by whom?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for State/Local Government Relations, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Energy) (15:00): I thank the honourable member for her important questions and will refer them to the Minister for Employment, Training and Further Education in another place and bring back a response.
