AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. I am very impressed. I have here five questions from him, which is an absolute all-time record. He must have been working very, very hard or got a new research officer. (1)-(2) No. (3) Yes. Five officers have taken up other positions in regional Western Australia, primarily with TAFE colleges that will have a primary role in undertaking regional planning on behalf of the department. Four officers have elected to take a redundancy. (4) The nine officers ceased working as regional planning coordinators on 31 October 2005 as these positions were abolished. (5) Through regional TAFEWA colleges, using existing consultative networks and reference groups to gather information on regional training needs.
