TAFE funding
Tom McINTOSH (Eastern Victoria) (19:05): (2379) My adjournment is for the Minister for Skills and TAFE, and the action I seek is for the minister to update the house on how the state Labor government has supported TAFE in eastern Victoria. Minister, I am proud to have gone to TAFE, done my apprenticeship for four years and worked 10 years in a trade. Shockingly, the Liberals, when they were last in a position of power, closed 22 TAFE campuses; 18 of those were in regional Victoria. The Labor state government has opened or upgraded 45 TAFE campuses. That, alongside free TAFE, is incredible.
Members interjecting.
Tom McINTOSH: We know the Liberals hate TAFE and they want to close it down. They are talking it down as we speak. Labor will always back in Victorians to get training and skills and get into the workforce.
