When the Labor Party talks about the youth or the Greens talk about youth employment, wages and everything like that, why would you knock back something like this that has given the kids an incentive to go and work? Would you be happy enough to see them sitting on a Newstart allowance?

Senator Hanson-Young interjecting—

The TEMPORARY CHAIR: Order. I remind all senators that interjections are disorderly and that senators are entitled to be heard in silence.

I hear the interjections. Of course, I do not know their backgrounds, but how many in this chamber have actually held a small business and employed staff? There are not very many in this chamber. I am speaking from a small business person's point of view.
