I refer to the cheekily evasive answer you gave me yesterday, and I ask:(a) is it really true that over the last 12 months not one single TAFE course or unit was cancelled, delayed, or had reduced enrolments due to a lack of available lecturers?

TAFE colleges are experienced at managing and scheduling training delivery to minimise any disruption to students or employers.
In the last 12 months no TAFE courses or units were cancelled, 5 were delayed by less than 3 months and enrolments were not reduced.
