WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT CENTRES
707. Dr D.J. HONEY to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question. Training centres led by
Aboriginal people were an overwhelming success, so why does the Premier not
look at that in detail and consider re-establishing them as effective training
centres for Aboriginal people?

Again, I am unaware of what the Leader of the Liberal Party
is referring to, but I just remind him that we have more Aboriginal people in
training, more Aboriginal people in apprenticeships and traineeships, more
Aboriginal people enrolled in TAFE and more Aboriginal people employed. We have
put a huge effort across government into these initiatives. We have the jobs
and skills centres. We actually dropped the fees for everyone, including
Aboriginal people, in our TAFE colleges because they were out of reach under
the former government. The jobs and skills centres are there to assist everyone.
I am unaware of what the member is referring to. I will have a look at it
because I have a feeling that, as usual, he is misrepresenting.
