My question is to the Prime Minister. In responding to Labor's plan to provide 100,000 fee-free TAFE places, the Minister for Education criticised vocational education prices that covered 'everything from energy healing to basket weaving'. Is this the government's view of TAFE and vocational education and is this why this arrogant and out-of-touch Prime Minister cutting another $270 million from TAFE and apprenticeships in this year's budget on top of the existing $3 billion of cuts to skills?
