QuestionView source ↗
Students of the non-government All Saints’ College in my electorate must pay $1 000 to undertake a certificate 1 hospitality course at the Swan TAFE campus in Bentley, whereas students who attend Rossmoyne Senior High School, which is a government school, can access the same course free of charge. (1) Is the minister aware of this? (2) If so, why does this discrimination exist? (3) If it does exist - I have been told that it does - can this situation be addressed prior to the commencement of next semester? (4) If not, why not? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH
AnswerView source ↗
I too have been in my portfolio for only a short time, but I am starting to feel very old in it. Having said that, I thank the honourable member for her question. It was a quite detailed question, which was based on somebody providing the member with some hearsay information. Hon Barbara Scott interjected. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : Hon Barbara Scott said that somebody had told her about this matter. She has not established it as fact. Several members interjected. The PRESIDENT : Order! This is question time, not debating time. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : Thank you very much, Mr President. We first need to establish whether it is correct that students from non-government schools such as All Saints’ College are required to pay $1 000 for the certificate 1 course in hospitality at the Bentley campus of TAFE. Hon Barbara Scott : That is what I am asking. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : It would have been more appropriate for the member to put this question on notice. I note that this is a question of which some notice has been given. I find that a little curious. Hon Barbara Scott : I gave you the courtesy of handing the question to you across the chamber. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : That is very good, but the member should have given me the courtesy of providing me with the opportunity to respond on notice. The member was obviously advised that I did not have the answer to this question. The question was of such detail that it should have been put on notice. I am not stupid; I can read. The question states that it is a Legislative Council question without notice of which some notice has been given. The first thing I need to establish is whether this is the case. If it is the case, I obviously need to establish the circumstances that have led to it being the case. Following that, I would be happy to provide the information to the member. What I will not do is to assume that what the member has said is factual or correct. I have been caught out many times by Hon Barbara Scott. She often comes out of left field with something totally stupid and expects me to provide a rational response. I will not do that anymore, because that is what is causing me to age!

If it is the case, I obviously need to establish the circumstances that have led to it being the case. Following that, I would be happy to provide the information to the member. What I will not do is to assume that what the member has said is factual or correct. I have been caught out many times by Hon Barbara Scott. She often comes out of left field with something totally stupid and expects me to provide a rational response. I will not do that anymore, because that is what is causing me to age!
(3) If it does exist - I have been told that it does - can this situation be addressed prior to the commencement of next semester? (4) If not, why not? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH replied: I too have been in my portfolio for only a short time, but I am starting to feel very old in it. Having said that, I thank the honourable member for her question. It was a quite detailed question, which was based on somebody providing the member with some hearsay information. Hon Barbara Scott interjected. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : Hon Barbara Scott said that somebody had told her about this matter. She has not established it as fact. Several members interjected. The PRESIDENT : Order! This is question time, not debating time. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : Thank you very much, Mr President. We first need to establish whether it is correct that students from non-government schools such as All Saints’ College are required to pay $1 000 for the certificate 1 course in hospitality at the Bentley campus of TAFE. Hon Barbara Scott : That is what I am asking. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : It would have been more appropriate for the member to put this question on notice. I note that this is a question of which some notice has been given. I find that a little curious. Hon Barbara Scott : I gave you the courtesy of handing the question to you across the chamber. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : That is very good, but the member should have given me the courtesy of providing me with the opportunity to respond on notice. The member was obviously advised that I did not have the answer to this question. The question was of such detail that it should have been put on notice. I am not stupid; I can read. The question states that it is a Legislative Council question without notice of which some notice has been given. The first thing I need to establish is whether this is the case. If it is the case, I obviously need to establish the circumstances that have led to it being the case. Following that, I would be happy to provide the information to the member.
