My question is to Senator the Hon. Eric Abetz, the Minister representing the Minister for Workforce Participation. In addition to the first anniversary of the excellent and outstanding government initiative of Work Choices, this week is also the 10th anniversary of the outstanding government initiative of Green Corps. In that regard, I am proud to say that my first official event as a senator was to launch a Green Corps event. Would the minister please update the Senate on the employment, environmental and other benefits of Green Corps and the Green Corps projects since it was launched some 10 years ago? Is the minister aware of any alternative policies?
