I refer to the Premier’s speech at the Labor campaign launch, his media statement of Sunday, 4 February 2001 announcing Labor’s $21 million boost for jobs and training and Labor’s employment and training policy in which he promised 500 traineeships in the public service; 800 apprenticeships; and 800 industry training positions, of which one third would be in the country. (1) How many of each of these positions have been - (a) created; and (b) taken up? (2) With respect to the previous answer, how many were in the country? (3) What is the estimated annual cost of this? (4) Where is this to be found in the current budget and forward estimates? Please refer to division and item and page numbers, including the pages of text where it is referred to. (5) In view of the reference that it is to remedy the thousands of public sector jobs slashed under the Court Government, has this resulted in an increase in public sector jobs? (6) If yes to (5), what has been the increase in public sector employment since 10 February 2001, and to what extent is this reflected in non-political positions? Hon KIM CHANCE

I very much thank Hon Peter Foss for asking the question. Indeed, had he not asked it, I would have asked one of our members to ask it. Hon Peter Foss: I asked it actually a year ago and the Leader of the House never got around to answering it. Hon KIM CHANCE: I am sorry if that is the case. However, I am delighted to provide the answer. (1) (a)-(b) Against the promise of 500 traineeships, 754 public sector traineeships have commenced since July 2001. Against the promise of 800 apprenticeships, 1 269 have been created and taken up in 2001-02 and 2002-03; these were in addition to the annual base year number of 3 957. Against the promise of 800 industry training positions, 6 378 traineeships have been created and taken up in 2001-02 and 2002-03; these were in addition to the annual base year number of 7 634. (2) In the country 32 per cent of apprentices and 34 per cent of trainees. (3) The estimated cost varies from year to year depending on the number of participants in the particular employment-based arrangement, the industry area concerned and the duration of the training contract. This information is not easily available and would require considerable resources to extract. (4) This information can be found in the 2003-04 budget papers, in division 55 on pages 911 and 912 in output 3 and 4. (5) According to the human resources minimal obligatory information requirement - HRMOIR - there has been an increase in the number of public sector employees since December 2000. (6) Since December 2000, the number of full-time equivalent public sector employees has risen by 6.2 per cent, which is an increase of 5 402 employees. These figures exclude all ministerial officers employed under contract under section 68 of the Public Sector Management Act 1994.
