I certainly want to bring to the attention of the minister—though she may be aware of this—that the University of Tasmania’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor Daryl Le Grew, and I had some discussions about how best we could work with the people who lost their jobs through the Telstra call centre. Within days, Professor Le Grew came back to me with a proposal to offer these Telstra workers the opportunity to further their education with the assistance of HECS-waiver scholarships. That is what we are doing down in our electorate of Bass. (Time expired)
