59243 (2025). Shanan Halbert to the Minister for Vocational Education: What feedback or communications, if any, has the Minister received from staff and stakeholders during the closure process for Workforce Development Councils, by date and title?

Hon Penny Simmonds: My office receives a large amount of correspondence each week. Asking them to collate that material would require substantial collation and prevent them from undertaking their substantive roles. I do not consider this to be in the public interest.
