Jeez, the unions didn’t look after her! In relation to item 15, the bill seeks to shift resources and effort from rule making and record keeping to practical activities, and the training statistics of themselves are of marginal relevance in assessing outcomes. Organisations may keep them if they see a benefit, and many already do. However, mandating the provision of training statistics would be yet another bureaucratic add-on requiring more information gathering and further complicating existing record keeping. In brief, we oppose the amendment.
