People keep telling me that they can't find jobs, but let me tell you: there are plenty of job opportunities. There are plenty of people looking for jobs and there are plenty of opportunities, and CDP puts that together. We will include more support to build the capacity of jobseekers so they can move along the pathway to purpose and employment. We also know that the people who live in these communities are themselves best placed to identify the barriers to employment, so we are improving the assessment process so it's done by local people in the local communities, rather than the dodginess of it being done on the phone with Centrelink. This is a very important initiative. This year's tax budget is a win for Indigenous Australians looking to participate in our economy.
