I thank the honourable member for the question and appreciate his interest in this area, because it is a vital area. When I took over this portfolio, the most profound issue I found in the area of training was the lack of morale among the TAFE lecturers. I had witnessed that and felt it in my previous role as shadow minister for education and training. It was quite evident that they felt undervalued and that they were not being recognised or appreciated by the government in this most significant area of the community. Probably the single most significant reason for that was the fact that there had been about 18 months of protracted and ultimately failed negotiations between the government and the union; in fact, they were in arbitration at the time. TAFE lecturers in essence had not had a salary increase since January 2007. They quite legitimately felt aggrieved, in much the same way as schoolteachers did, because they were in the same basket. The day I took over the portfolio I took it upon myself to take an active role in the negotiations on the EBA. I met with the president of the State School Teachers’ Union of Western Australia for an informal coffee, and I made it quite clear to her that I wanted to remove the concept of arbitration. I did not want to go to arbitration; I wanted negotiations outside of arbitration. I wanted to ensure that, as a government, we did what was best for our TAFE lecturers to show that we valued them so that we did not face the prospect of having a massive shortage of lecturers in the next two to three years—the average age of TAFE lecturers is around 57 years. Because of the number of retiring lecturers, unless we start to fill the gaps at the bottom end we will find TAFE colleges right across Western Australia without any lecturers. Suffice it to say I was very encouraged by the cooperation I got from the union. The government then gave TAFE lecturers a six per cent interim salary increase on 18 December, which was backdated to 5 September, in recognition of the significant role that they play in our community. We made a very good offer to TAFE lecturers of $168 million, which meant essentially another 20 per cent increase over three years and the introduction of a new clause of flexibility. This means that TAFE lecturers can be flexible with the time they put into a college, and it could take their salary increase to 26.5 per cent over three years. In addition, there were great incentives for rural and remote lecturers. Just briefly, it would mean that a first-year lecturer who earned $48 518 at the beginning of 2008 will earn $65 287 by January 2011, and $68 551 on flexible hours; a lecturer at the top of the salary scale who earned $66 030 at the beginning of 2008 will earn $81 662 by September 2010. In addition, we added to the offer country incentives for lecturers located in regional TAFE colleges. These allowances range from $931 to $6 076, to be paid to lecturers based in 17 locations, while lecturers in remote locations are to be paid allowances ranging from $14 000 to $19 000. It is therefore a very good offer to our TAFE lecturers. It was a hand-on-the-heart commitment to say to our TAFE lecturers that we value them and we understand and appreciate the significant role that they play in our community. I am delighted to inform the house and Hon Ray Halligan that I received the following email today from Pat Burke, senior vice-president of the SSTUWA — Dear Peter, The ballot for the Western Australian TAFE Lecturers’ General Agreement 2008 was concluded today. An overwhelming majority of TAFE lecturers voted in favour of accepting the Agreement. The details of the result are as follows: 96.96% voted YES 3.04% voted NO Return rate 64.57% May I take this opportunity to congratulate you on the effort you made to convince Cabinet to fund this Agreement. I look forward to working with you again in the interests of our great WA TAFE system and our fantastic TAFE lecturers. Cheers Pat Burke To conclude, that is the highest acceptance rate in the history of the union. All I can say is that I am delighted for TAFE lecturers. As minister, I value TAFE lecturers and appreciate the significant role that they play in providing a very robust, vibrant and effective public training system for Western Australia.
