The critical skills occupation list has been in existence since 2012. I am wondering about the oversight of that list. A decade after its creation, the same skills are on it. What is the level of engagement with the Department of Education? Surely there should be some focus on ensuring that occupations that do not need to be on the list, identified by analysing consistent need, come off it. Perhaps Ms Ward could give us her view on that.
