Although Mr. O'Halloran mentioned that there are online e-learning tools for primary schools with farm-specific elements, we have heard submissions from various people today saying there is a need for such e-learning to be available for schools. If this e-learning is already there, there is obviously a need to market it and outline to all the organisations and people involved in farming that it is available. The HSA needs to get the message out there. Discussion groups have been mentioned. It has been advocated that we should have more discussion groups and we have discussed their benefits with other witnesses. What type of incentives will be put in place to encourage more discussion groups?
