I would like to thank the minster for the opportunity to expand on the Work for the Dole program that has been announced for the region of Logan. As a member of the Logan City of Choice executive team, where we spend a lot of time working together as a community to try to find solutions to some of the problems in Logan, I see this Work for the Dole program as a tremendous investment. I also see it as giving tremendous assistance towards achieving some of the things we are looking to do to re-engage the youth in our community into the workforce, as some of them have been disconnected for significant periods of time. I would like to ask the minister to expand on his previous answer about how this budget by this government will reinvigorate the Work for the Dole scheme for young job seekers.
