C.Y. O'CONNOR
INSTITUTE — BUDGET
683. Hon DARREN WEST to the
parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Training and Workforce Development:
(1) Can the
minister confirm that the C.Y. O'Connor Institute has had a $1 million
cut to its 2014 budget?
(2) If no to (1), by how much will this college's
budget be cut?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of the question.
(1) The
Department of Training and Workforce Development is currently negotiating the
2014 training delivery with training providers. The C.Y. O'Connor
Institute has submitted its 2014 budget estimates, but they are yet to be
approved. Once the estimates have been approved, they will be published in the
institute's 2013 annual report due to be tabled in Parliament in March
2014. It should be noted that the Liberal–National government has recently
committed considerable funding to the C.Y. O'Connor Institute to
implement its bachelor of agribusiness degree at the Muresk Institute in
partnership with Charles Sturt University. This funding has been made available
as a result of the government's $300 million commitment to agriculture,
announced in the recent state budget.
(2) Not applicable.
