Mr President, I ask a supplementary question and I note that again the minister is conflicted in his statement. Is the minister aware that, while there are more than 19,500 people looking for work in Tasmania, the most recent internet vacancy index shows only 1,751 newly lodged job vacancies have been advertised? How are job seekers supposed to find 40 appropriate jobs to apply for each month?
