My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Employment. Today, Anglicare Australia released their jobs availability snapshot, which revealed nearly five applicants for every entry level job. Harvest season is approaching and farmers are looking for seasonal workers, with many positions just an hour away from metro areas. We must help unemployed Australians and our farmers needing workers to connect. I ask the minister: what specific promotional measures has the government implemented to ensure Australians on Newstart and youth allowance know about the Seasonal Workers Incentives Trial, which allows them to earn up to $5,000 before losing Centrelink payments?
