My question is addressed to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister confirm that the government’s 2007 training policy, Skilling Australia for the Future, stated specifically on apprentices:

All subsidies and payments to employers and apprentices will be retained.

Why has the government broken this promise by removing the $800 from apprentices for their tool kits and the $1,000 from apprentices to assist with their fees?
