My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Skills and Training, Senator Watt. We know fee-free TAFE is changing lives. Within the first three months more than 118,000 people had enrolled in free TAFE courses, with hundreds of thousands more over the past 18 months. These enrolments have been in areas like care, early childhood education and construction. How is the Albanese Labor government bringing costs down so Australians can get the skills they need for the jobs they want, and what are the key barriers to delivering this support to Australian students?
