Good lord is that the time? Yes, it’s a whole four years since the last one

So, the Andrews Government has commissioned former long-serving Labor federal minister Jenny Macklin to have look. Ms Macklin’s brief includes:

* “designing a system that meets the needs of both industry and government, while supporting individual students to get the skills they need”

* reforms to further strengthen the role of private employers

* ensuring VET courses continue to deliver high quality qualifications

* improving pathways between VET and Higher Education

Good-o, but why a new Victorian review of  issues the federal government could deal with?  That will be the coalition Government in Canberra and the Labor Government in Melbourne – ah federalism, ain’t it grand!
