I began my career many years ago due to attending a technical college and fully support the need as an employee and employer.

Economic development requires people with technical skills and as such the loss of any facility is detrimental to economic development of the immediate are.

Please consider continuing this vital form of education facility.

Yours faithfully

Brett Russell

The concept to address skills shortages was long overdual and now not sustainable due to prejudices between governments.

What will the Labour Government do in 6 months time when the next labour shortage hits indsutry????????

All ATC's around the country should be revamped and funded instead of dishing millions into incentives so dodgy private RTO's get more work.

You have effectively lost my support in all your future endeavors.

Good Luck with being reelected. You have successfully screwed our country. Its going to take another 12 years to pull us A out of debt, B For us to pull out of this recession and C for our unemployement to drop.

Not only the above but you have perhaps lost my brother's apprenticeship and may have ruined any hope of a comfortable future for him.

Congratulations Rudd
