We were getting to the interesting bit, Mr President. I ask a further supplementary question. Is the minister aware that the Launceston City Council and the Launceston Chamber of Commerce support the ongoing operation of the ATCNT and that over 4,600 Tasmanians have signed a petition supporting the retention of the college? In light of this support and the overall performance of the ATCNT, will the government now reverse its decision to commit to maintaining the ATCNT in Northern Tasmania? As a final question, what is the view and the position of the federal member for Bass with respect to the future of the ATC? What is the position of federal Labor MPs and federal Labor senators with respect to the future of the ATCNT?
