I thank the honourable member for
the question.
(1)–(3) This
question should be directed to the Minister for Training and Workforce Development,
because Education and Training International is the group that invoices
students. As I stated in my response to a question directed to the Minister for
Training and Workforce Development, the invoices were not distributed last
Thursday because the final census was not concluded last week. The census will
identify all students, including children of 457 visa holders, throughout the
state. To my understanding, that has now been done and those invoices went out
at the end of last week. Do not hold me to this, but I know that the invoices
went out at the end of last week and they should have been received either on
Thursday or yesterday. That was a direct result of the fact that the final
census was not completed until just recently.
