REGISTERED TRADING ORGANISATION — ISSUE OF DIPLOMAS
I refer to the minister’s answer yesterday to question without notice 726. (1) Which registered training organisation was issuing diplomas in project management when it did not have the scope to do so? (2) How many diplomas in project management were issued by this RTO, and over what period? (3) When was the matter brought to the attention of the Training Accreditation Council? (4) When was the investigation conducted and by whom, and was any penalty applied to the RTO? (5) Will the minister table the investigation and audit report; and, if not, why not? Hon PETER COLLIER

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. (1)–(5) This matter is the subject of an appeal. Therefore it would not be appropriate to respond to this question, as doing so may undermine the appeal process. I will say, however, that after the appeal process has been concluded—I have no idea when it will be concluded—I will not have any problems responding to the question.
