AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for the question. To the best of my knowledge, none of it comes from Treasury. Hon Norman Moore : Exactly right, and that just makes a mess of your last answer. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : Hang on! No, it does not. Hon Simon O’Brien : Not even one hundred bucks! The PRESIDENT : Order, members! Two other members wish to ask questions and I hope they will have the opportunity. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : Thank you, Mr President. There is no direct contribution from Treasury. It is a levy on construction work and the levy is collected when a building approval is sought from a local government authority. The levy is set at 0.082 or 0.182 per cent or something at the moment. It had been two per cent and went down. Hon Norman Moore : So you take it out of employers’ pockets. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : It does not come out of the employers’ pockets; it comes from the mums and dads. Listen; this is where the Leader of the Opposition has no idea. Training is the responsibility of all the stakeholders; it is not the responsibility of just one sector. Hon Norman Moore interjected. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : The simple fact is that that criticism still holds. The $4 000 is given to the employer, and the tax on it is $3 900. The simple fact is that there was no cooperation from the federal minister on this issue; there never is. I have an idea of why the Leader of the Opposition is so grumpy. He should just take a deep breath and chill out.
