I just wonder if, at the other end of the spectrum, the government is looking at the opportunities available in Western Australia and elsewhere where there is a skills shortage to give those people who do have literacy and numeracy skills the ability to skill-up to go to very high paying jobs where their skills will be very much in demand. Has the government looked at that opportunity?
