Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. The northern Adelaide suburbs' general unemployment rate has increased from 7.3 per cent to nine per cent in only one year, nudging twice the national average. Youth unemployment is now at a staggering 43 per cent, and this without yesterday's collapse of Precision Engineering Services. Does the minister acknowledge that they have given up on the people of Adelaide's northern suburbs, and have no clue how to stem this tsunami of pain? (Time expired)
