[by video link] I call, first, for a national broadcasting ombudsman today. After recent revelations and honest errors, it's time we have an ombudsman that can hear complaints. Secondly, we need some better arrangements for our Afghan arrivals to make sure they're connected to the workforce. We must do it differently to the way we've done it up until now. Lastly, with the recent calls for no-jab, no-job and no-jab, no-shot, I'm firmly saying we have laws in this country to adhere to and public health experts we should listen to. Let's not put the decisions on who can trade or work in the hands of individual baristas and shoe shop owners. This is a matter for expert public health evidence. Let's follow the AHPPC in these matters.
