Senator FIFIELD (Victoria—Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Assistant Minister for Social Services) (14:30): I think it is important to recognise that there are some important exemptions in what we refer to as the earn or learn requirements that we are introducing for people under the age of 30. I will take the chamber through those. If an individual has a partial capacity to work less than 30 hours per week, they will be exempt. If a single parent is receiving family tax benefit for a child, they will be exempt. If they are in full-time education they will be exempt. If they are an apprentice they will be exempt. If they are a principal carer parent they will be exempt. If they are a stream 3 or stream 4 job seeker, or remote jobs and community program equivalent under current employment services arrangements, they will be exempt. Also, if someone is eligible for disability employment services they will be exempt. These are important exemptions which I think have not been given adequate ventilation in the post-budget period, so I think this is a good opportunity to highlight the fact that there are exemptions. The objective is to help those people who do have the capacity to work— Senator Siewert: Mr President, I rise on a point of order. I do know those exemptions. I was asking about specific examples. Could I ask the minister, in his remaining 45 seconds, to please address those two specific examples and the question I asked about what impact the measures will have on them? The PRESIDENT: I do draw the minister's attention to the question. Senator FIFIELD: I think we always have to be very careful when we are relating specific examples—what you might call 'individual cameos'. Obviously there can be a range of variables. We are talking about a range of variables which you would need to know in order to give a definitive answer to a question about an individual circumstance.
