Jeremy Rockliff,Minister for Education and Training Rebecca White and the Labor party have been caught red-handed spruiking a deceptive promise to offer ‘free’ TAFE which won’t deliver a single new training place. Labor’s ‘fully costed’ $10 million sham does not even come close to covering course fees collected each year by TasTAFE. Labor claim the promise will fund 5000 training placements, yet TasTAFE currently offers more than 22,000 placements. How would Labor decide who doesn’t pay and who does, or which course gets “Free TAFE” ? Can Labor guarantee that they won’t cut courses, places or teachers under their promise?
