I thank the member for Jagajaga for her question. The Australian government has absolutely no intention of establishing a TAFE facility, or indeed anything resembling it, in Africa. However, it is desirable that as much English and other instruction relating to the Australian lifestyle as possible is provided to refugees chosen for resettlement in our country before they arrive here. We believe they deserve the very best set of opportunities that they can possibly get once they are in this country.
