Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of disagreeing with the amendment below, introduced by Indi MP Helen Haines (Independent). This means the amendment was unsuccessful.
Dr Haines explained:
The purpose of these amendments is simple: to insert one more bullet point in section 7(1)(a) to ensure the National Skills Commission does not leave regional Australians behind. The establishment of the National Skills Commission is a first step towards ensuring future initiatives and reforms in the VET sector are based on the best available data. We must be certain that this includes deliberately regional Australian data.
Amendment text
(1) Clause 5, page 4 (line 11), after "investment in VET", insert ", issues specific to VET and workforce development in regional Australia".
(2) Clause 7, page 5 (line 4), omit "; and", substitute ";".
(3) Clause 7, page 5 (after line 4), at the end of paragraph 7(1)(a), add:
(iv) issues specific to VET and workforce development in regional Australia; and
