Thank you, Madam Deputy President. That's why we've put in place projects like the PaTH program—which the Labor Party voted against—to assist young people to get into work. Yesterday they were complaining about the fact that 30 per cent of those people were actually ending up in a job. That's why we have the Transition to Work program, which helps people who drop out of the system to get back into the system. I was talking to some of those young people just this morning to assist them to get them back into the program when they'd fallen through the system. (Time expired)
