The government introduced bills to abolish the National Skills Commission and establish Jobs and Skills Australia into the Reps on Wednesday yesterday the Senate referred them both to its Education and Employment Legislation Committee

But the government clearly wants it known that it is not mucking around on what it appears to consider a foundation reform
