My question is to the Minister for Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business, Senator Cash. On 14 July the minister posted two tweets following a meeting she had with the CEO of a Western Australian firm Stirling Skills Training. In the tweets the minister endorsed the firm as an, 'integral part of the vocational education scene in Perth for over 30 years.' Can the minister confirm that her own regulator, the Australian Skills Quality Authority, has cancelled Stirling Skills Training's registration for non-compliance on 16 grounds, including failing to ensure marketing information is accurate and factual and for issues with training, assessment, strategies and practises?
