On behalf of the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Education and Training, I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. (1)(a)-(e) Section 3(1)(a)-(e) of the Building and Construction Industry Training Fund and Levy Collection Regulations specifically excludes these sectors. There is no intention to change this regulation. (2) The Act requires a levy of 0.182 per cent of the construction component of the project. The $1.4 billion project would include costs other than construction.
