CHRIS BAILLIE (ACT): I rise on behalf of ACT in opposition to the Education and Training (Teaching Council Fees, Levies, and Costs) Amendment Bill, a bill which seeks to allow the Teaching Council to set fees to fund its operations. The bill is required due to a series of unfortunate decisions and circumstances. Teachers need a Teaching Council. It's an important body required for regulating the teaching profession and the certification of its teachers, but they have moved outside the scope that the teachers had given them into professional development that the teachers really hadn't asked for and, subsequently, that requires the increased fees.
