Is it that we do not have capacities to deliver on all of these projects? I have analysed and if you check the State Department of Vocational and Technical Training, for instance, we only had 30 per cent performance of the grants available to that sector and 47 per cent performance on the loans.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
