Senator CASH (Western Australia—Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Employment and Minister for Women) (14:27): I thank Senator Duniam for the question and, yes, Senator Bilyk, it was yesterday's question. The reason that we have again brought up the topic today is that this government is absolutely committed to doing everything that we can to get our youth who are currently on welfare out of that system and into a job. We on this side of the—it is in our DNA. We fundamentally believe that the best form of welfare is a job. Senator Bilyk: I can tell you what's in your DNA! Senator CASH: I can assure you, Senator Bilyk, through you, Mr President, we make no apologies for senators on this side of the chamber showing an interest in what government is doing to implement good policy to get our youth the training they need, to get them that foot in the door and, ultimately, to ensure that they get into sustainable employment. That is why in April our $763 million investment in our Youth Jobs PaTH does commence. As we have said, this is all about getting our youth ready, getting them the skills that they need, giving them a go, getting them that foot in the door. We often talk to our youth, and what do we hear from them? They would love to have the opportunity to undertake some work experience or to get a job, but employers will not take them on—because they do not have that experience. Ultimately, we need to get them a job. Of course, one of the things we are focused on is young Australians who are caught up in that cycle of intergenerational unemployment and welfare dependency. They need the government to work with employers and make an investment in them. Mr President, I am disappointed that those on the other side continue to oppose getting our youth off welfare and into a job. Andrew Leigh, last year, a member in the other place, supported the program until the ACTU said, 'You can no longer support the program.' And Labor, unfortunately, changed their tune. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Duniam, a supplementary question.
