Right—go for it, member of Dobell, because the chair is not going to provide any protection whatsoever to me whilst I speak! Youth Connections on the Central Coast has provided a lot of support for young people, particularly for disadvantaged young people. Add to that the Schools Business Community Partnership Brokers Program, which fosters a whole-of-community approach to support young people as they learn and develop. It is something that the member to Dobell obviously does not support. I would also like to add that this government has ripped money out of the budget by moving away from the Australian Apprenticeships Access Program. Once again, this is something that the member for Dobell obviously does not support.
