 Mr ELASMAR (Northern Metropolitan) (12:53): My constituency question today is for the Minister for Training and Skills, Minister Tierney. The Andrews Labor government has unveiled a major funding package to support the huge growth in enrolments that its landmark free TAFE initiative is driving across Victoria. Premier Daniel Andrews has announced an additional $11.7 million to accommodate the strong student demand for the free TAFE program. So my question to the minister is: how will my constituents in the Northern Metropolitan Region enrolled in TAFE benefit from this additional $11.7 million of funding announced for the free TAFE initiative?
