I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) This project
is about continuing the processes identified as being next steps to implement
the Seares review recommendations. No decision has been made about the release
of any report.
(2) See the answer to (3).
(3) Hon Cheryl
Edwardes and the other committee members are working pro bono. The department
has engaged John Langoulant at $400 an hour as a consultant to support the work
of the committee.
(4) No.
(5) No.
I notice the member has actually
said 15 existing TAFE colleges; I assume she means 11, but that is all right—the
answer is no, anyway.
