Vocational Education and Training

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:27): By way of supplementary question, can the minister confirm that there are only 20 places for Certificate III in Agriculture based with TAFE in Mount Gambier? Instead of referring it as an operational matter, will she make a representation to TAFE to make sure those courses are available to all regional centres in South Australia, given that one of the government's seven strategic priorities is food and wine from a clean environment?

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) (14:27): I do not have the details of the number of courses and their locations. There are 700 different qualifications on our subsidised training list, 700 of them. I am not able to bring that level of detail. That information is publicly available and we know how lazy the opposition leader is. We know that he is too lazy to get online and look for himself. He likes to come along here and politically grandstand and shoot off his mouth. We know how lazy and ill prepared they are. We know how they regularly come into this place, distorting figures, confused with figures. They are too lazy to even work out what figures they are bringing in here and what they mean. They shoot off at the mouth and they are wrong most of the time.
