My question is directed to Senator Fifield, representing the Minister for Social Services. As I hope you know, this Sunday, 3 December, is the 25th International Day of People with Disability, with the overarching principle being to 'leave no-one behind'. Given the unemployment rate for people with a disability in Australia ranks 21st out of the 29 nations of the OECD and that only 53 per cent of Australians with a disability are employed compared with 83 per cent of all working-age people, what is your plan for getting people with a disability into stable employment rather than continuing to leave them behind?
