The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:36): I have a supplementary question. Is the minister aware of what the broadacre agricultural sector job outcomes were before the RTOs lost their funding?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (14:37): I am not sure if the honourable member is asking me if I know what the employment outcome is for regions.

The Hon. T.A. Franks: Not for regions; for the broadacre agricultural sector RTOs.

The Hon. G.E. GAGO: I do not have that with me, but I receive regular reports in terms of regional labour force data, and I have that here if the honourable member wants it. It does not identify the employment. They are ABS figures, and they do not identify particular RTOs. They identify our regions and give a breakdown of employment levels per region.
