Senator COLBECK (Tasmania—Minister for Aged Care and Senior Australians and Minister for Youth and Sport) (14:48): As I said yesterday, the youth unemployment rate is too high. We acknowledge that. But the youth unemployment rate in Australia now is lower than it was when Labor left office. It is one per cent lower than what it was when Labor left office. That's why we put in place programs like the PaTH program I spoke of yesterday, which is to assist young people to get into jobs— Honourable senators interjecting— The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Minister, please resume your seat. Order! I need to be able to hear Senator Colbeck answer the question. Minister, please continue. Senator COLBECK: 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) The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Senator Ayres, your second supplementary.
