Skills for All

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:46): Supplementary question. Minister, did you actually ask TAFE why they decided not to make a submission?

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) (14:46): As I said, listen to my answer. I have answered quite categorically that TAFE gave me no reason as to why they did or did not and I had no discussion with them about why they did or did not. They simply gave me information. A reasonable person would assume that, given that a comprehensive whole-of-government response was made to the inquiry, TAFE was satisfied with that. That is a reasonable conclusion for an intelligent person to come to.
