Department of the Legislative Assembly, Northern Territory Government

Mr MILLS - 2004-02-26

Without warning, trainees and apprentices attending Charles Darwin University have had their amenity fees increased by 1500%. Minister, with one hand you give and with the other, you take. What will you do to assist these trainees?

ANSWER

Madam Speaker, I thank the Leader of the Opposition for his question, but he seems to have a complete lack of understanding of the relationship between the Northern Territory government and Charles Darwin University, and the relationship between that university and the federal government responsible for funding of tertiary institutions in Australia.
