Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Despite the rhetoric, it is clear that the government has failed to reward and measure past performance and, as a result, organisations such as Mercy Employment, which recently received a four-star rating for their site in Fremantle, will also be forced to close on 30 June. The question is: when will the minister and the Rudd Labor government concede they have completely bungled the $4.9 billion contract for the purchasing of employment services, leaving thousands of unemployed Australians in the lurch?
