My question is to the , Senator Cash. I'm constantly told by businesses—farmers and those in the hospitality industry, to name a few—that they cannot get Australians to work. When asked why they're not taking up employment, people say it's because they're not prepared to lose their JobSeeker payments or have no fear that they will actually lose their payments. You and I both know that they are not under any pressure from your department to take up employment. In other words, you are rewarding people who don't want to work. What do you intend to do to address the problem?
