Josh Frydenberg (Kooyong, Liberal Party, Minister for the Environment and Energy) Share this | Hansard source

I can inform the House that every young apprentice has aspiration, and plenty of it. And when it comes to the Labor Party's record on apprenticeships, they saw the biggest single drop in trainee numbers on record: a 22 per cent fall in their last year of office. And do you know who was responsible as the minister when 110,000 apprentices lost their positions? The Leader of the Opposition! He was the then employment minister.
