It is an interesting notion when the Australian Labor Party come in here, represented by Senator Wong, and give the impression to those listening that they are actually doing the government a favour by supporting this bill, the Australian Technical Colleges (Flexibility in Achieving Australia’s Skills Needs) Amendment Bill 2006. The bottom line is that the Australian Labor Party, through their intransigence, actually held up the passage of the original Australian Technical Colleges (Flexibility in Achieving Australia’s Skills Needs) Act. Indeed, they are responsible for any delays there might have been in its implementation.
