I refer to the Minister’s submission of April 2010, to the National Resources Sector employment Taskforce Discussion Paper, ‘Resourcing the Future’, and the review commissioned by the Department of Training and Workforce Development, which includes institutional pathway delivery as a possible option during an economic downturn, and I ask -
(1) Is the review still ongoing?
(2) What are the outcomes of this review to date?
(3) When is the review expected to be completed?
(4) Has any consultation occurred?
(5) If yes to (4), who has been consulted?
