I will give a relatively brief contribution on the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Bill 2010 [2011]. I indicate that I will be supporting this bill, subject to some assurances I believe the Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations will be giving in relation to further amendments to this bill. Can I assure Senator Back after his very comprehensive contribution that I in no way will seek to emasculate him. Given the definition of the word ‘emasculate’, I will not be seeking to do that.
