I congratulate Mr. Delaney on his appointment to the role. I appreciate he has only just taken it up and, therefore, I do not want to ask too many detailed questions about his priorities. What is his overall vision for the role? What are his priorities? We have had several debates at this committee and in both Houses about the future landscape for further education and training, community education and so on. Some of us are concerned that this is a large landscape and that one sector should not dominate the others. For example, community education is important as well as further education and training and a balance needs to be struck between job-related training and personal development. Will Mr. Delaney comment on how he sees those coming together?
