My question is to the Treasurer. Does the Treasurer agree with Mr Peter Hendy, the chief executive of the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, that skills shortages are ‘the No. 1 complaint of investors in this country’? Why then do the Treasurer’s own budget papers show that funding for vocational education and training will fall as a total proportion of Commonwealth expenditure, from 0.75 per cent in the current financial year to 0.67 per cent in 2009-10?
