My question this afternoon is to the Minister for Youth and Sport, Senator Colbeck. The Grattan Institute's report Generation gap: ensuring a fair go for younger Australiansfound rising rates of underemployment for under-25s account for much of the growth in underemployment overall. Can the minister confirm that the share of employed young people who are actively seeking more work has grown from 12 per cent to 20 per cent over the past decade?
