My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Social Services, Senator Fifield. There were reports today that the government is considering reducing the waiting time for the young job seekers to access income support on the earn-and-learn measures—suggesting that they are reducing it to one month rather than six months. Is this correct? What period of time is the government considering, if they are considering reducing the amount of time? Has the government got the Palmer United Party's agreement to these changes?
