BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION
INDUSTRY TRAINING FUNDAND LEVY COLLECTION ACT — REVIEW
1568. Hon SIMON O'BRIEN to the Minister for Education
and Training:
I refer to the minister's ministerial
statement earlier today about the statutory review of the Building and
Construction Industry Training Fund and Levy Collection Act 1990, and the
minister's intention to respond to recommendation 11 by immediately
amending the act to allow for more flexible levy payment schedules.
(1) When might we expect to see a bill
before the house?
(2) When would the amended regime
commence?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
(1)–(2) Cabinet
has approved permission to draft the legislation to give effect to those
changes, so that has been done. I will have to check and get back to the
honourable member about the date of commencement. As it reads right now, the
act is quite limited, so I do not think that the changes can come into effect
before the legislation is dealt with by the house. I will check and get back to
the member.
