Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I do note that the minister declined to answer as to the percentage of those under the PPP who were actually placed in jobs. This supplementary question might provide the minister with the opportunity to address that. Is the Chief Executive of TAFE Directors Australia, Mr Martin Riordan, right when he says, ‘Two years into the education revolution and we haven’t really made any progress on skills shortages at all’? Will the minister undertake to release a detailed performance review on the employment outcomes of the Productivity Places Program so that taxpayers can judge for themselves whether they are indeed getting value for money?
