MS TIERNEY (Western Victoria—Minister for Training and Skills, Minister for Higher Education) (12:14:05): Thank you, and that is not what the budget paper says. In fact what we have is those on the opposite side being in absolute denial. They are the past masters of cuts. If you want to know about cuts, just go across to the other side of the chamber. We are about investing—investing in skills and training, investing in human capital and making sure that there are lots and lots of opportunities for people to seize skills, acquire those skills and absolutely apply those skills in the jobs that are needed and are wanted in this community. Those opposite, as I said, are the masters of cuts. We are the masters of investing in Victorians, particularly young Victorians.
