AnswerView source ↗
As I said, I am not sure where the Leader of the Opposition went after he asked the question. It is our view that there is currently capacity in the training system—that is our view! Mr E.S. Ripper : So you’re not going to fund his plan? Mr T.R. BUSWELL : The budget will be handed down soon! Do not get too excited! I know the Leader of the Opposition is missing being in government and missing the work, but we will hand the budget down and Labor can read it. I reiterate: action to support jobs versus empty, hollow rhetoric! A task force, an audit, a strategic review and an analysis—what a joke!
