(—) (): My question is to the Prime Minister. TAFE teachers, students and apprentices from all around the country are gathered in the gallery today for National TAFE Day. Can the Prime Minister please explain to TAFE supporters in the gallery today why he is cutting another $270 million from skills and apprenticeships in this year's budget while still giving $80 billion to big business? Will the Prime Minister reverse his opposition to Labor's plans to cover up-front fees for 100,000 TAFE places and train more Australians for well-paid, secure jobs? (Time expired)
