APPRENTICESHIPS AND TRAINEESHIPS — 2010–11 FUNDING
I have a question without notice of which some notice has been given—no, it has not, it is without notice! I was starting to get a bit generous! Hon Ken Travers : It does not matter whether you have given notice! Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : The member is right, it will make no difference as the minister never knows the answer. (1) How many apprenticeship places are funded for the 2010–11 financial year? (2) How many traineeship places are funded for the 2010–11 financial year? Hon PETER COLLIER

AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. (1)-(2) Funding is a moveable feast, as Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich knows. It is not that I do not know; I can assure the member. We fund places on a constant basis, as it has always been. We have just allocated another $19 million for another seven and a half thousand trainees and apprentices. We will move through and look at the profile on a regular basis. Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : How many apprenticeship places? You don’t know. Hon PETER COLLIER : This is no different from any other time. Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : You don’t know. Hon PETER COLLIER : I do know, and what I am saying right now is that it is a moveable feast. We have literally just allocated another $19 million for another seven and a half thousand apprentices and trainees.
