Felix Ellis has
today been caught out trying to keep a legally-required review of TAFE secret.
In a surprising
admission, Mr Ellis confirmed the review had already commenced, despite no
public statement being made to enable appropriate feedback.
Mr Ellis must
now answer important questions about the review.
Who are the two
or more independent people conducting the review?
Will they take
formal input from relevant stakeholders, including the workforce as described
in the Legislative Council when the amendment to have a review was moved? When
do submissions open and close?
And when was he
planning to tell Tasmanians?
Felix Ellis must finally start being upfront about the TAFE review. TAFE’s future is too important to be jeopardised by this Government’s trademark secrecy.

Shadow Minister for TAFE
