TAFE, a national icon sacrificed on the altar of neoliberalism.
Privatisation of the vocational education system has been a social and economic disaster.
Labor policy was to inject $100m in TAFE upgrades and ensure 2/3 of federal govt funding to TAFE. theguardian.com/australia-news…

Minister @sueellery there are two boxes missing from your list- one that says ‘staff safety ‘ and another that says ‘principal and teacher workload ‘. You may have heard but you haven’t listened.
