As an industry, we are dictated to by the Government and their departments, and nearly every time they "make a MISTAKE" or simply get it wrong it ends up costing us, the humble taxpayer, in some way. The Productivity Commission has just released a 402-page draft report "New Models of Tertiary Education". Parts of the content of this report affect our industry and our apprentices.

Have we reached a stage where bureaucrats sit in their office creating work for themselves stacking percentages and numbers, gloating about their achievements and how many languages they can speak?  Well we can speak three languages, English, Profanity and Sarcasm,  and we will use them all as we are getting sick of not seeing value for money, but rather pathetic training that costs us as an industry.
