403,600 Australian Apprentices in training in the March Quarter 2006 – a 161% increase since the Coalition was elected in 1996, latest vocational and technical education figures released today reveal.
Figures from the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER), are proof the Australian Government’s initiatives and Work Choices changes were encouraging people to seize training opportunities, particularly in the trades.
The report also shows that in the 12 months to March 31, 2006, there were significant increases in Australian Apprenticeship commencements, including in higher level qualifications and Australian School-based Apprenticeships.
“Australian Apprenticeship commencements grew to 271,100, an increase of 5%, Australian Apprenticeship completions grew to 142,600, an increase of 6%, and there was a 6% increase in the number of females taking up Australian Apprenticeships,” Mr Ruddock said.
The NCVER data also shows 16,100 Australian School-based Apprentices commenced in the last 12 months an increase of 23% over the previous 12 months.
“These increases are tangible evidence of the effectiveness of the Australian (Howard)Government initiatives
Spain and Ireland were both in surplus until their property markets tanked. Like to take a guess where state governments get a fair whack of their revenue?
We have the highest household indebtedness in the world and run a current account deficit. What's really happened is that government saving has forced the household sector to borrow more in order to finance the CAD.
It's hardly a ringing endorsement for the 10 years to 2007.
John Howard has always behaved with decorum.
None of his office organised a riot wherein he lost a shoe.
On the other hand, he has had shoes offered to him, which he graciously declined.
When did that ever happen to the muppets we have leading the ALP?

Maybe you should re read your post.
That is the biggest crock I have heard in a long time. Get a grip.
Struggling to see it too.Which part?

Also notice that GG has ignored my post on productivity. Funny that!
I couldn't count the times I've posed a request for justification/information to various posters and received no response.Also notice that GG has ignored my post on productivity. Funny that!
Which part?
Can you post some figures regarding the increase in Australia's productivity under Howard? More skilled employees (well, apprenticeships leading to more skilled workers) mean that it should have risen dramatically?
The part where you infer the gov saving, forced households to borrow to support the current account defecit and blame the years from 1997-2007.
The three sectors (public/private/external) need to balance to zero. It is impossible to have a government sector that is a net saver have the economy running a CAD, and have the private sector as a net saver. This isn't theory it's accounting fact. You sum the government surplus and the CAD together and you get the net negative savings amount of the private sector. So all that happened was the debt was transferred from the public to private sector. The end result being an overindebted household sector. If you want to, have a look at how unindebted households are in countries like Italy and Greece, in that instance the government paid for the CAD not the private sector. The result is more or less the same, it's just who has the debt at the end of the party.
Doesn't private sector debt include all non Gov debt? Not just household debt?
