What Is Brumby Doing for Job Seekers?

The Nationals MP for Northern Victoria, Damian Drum, has urged the Brumby State Government to put a halt to its planned new TAFE fee structure, due to come into force from July 1. "The growing unemployment crisis in regional Victoria means we must do all we can to help those who are looking for new skills and new work," Mr Drum said. But under the new fees structure TAFE students undertaking courses at a level lower than their current qualification will be charged full course costs.
