Independent senator Jacqui Lambie is demanding more TAFE funding from the federal government in Tasmania, her home state.
Lambie has recently tackled housing, is set to attend to the health system, and is now also turning her attention to securing tertiary education funding.
“When it comes to infrastructure, TAFEs are pretty depleted. For me it’s really important to make sure these trade schools stay around,” Ms Lambie told ABC radio yesterday.
