I think I actually have seen the report and I've met with the Grattan Institute regarding the report, so I need to correct what I said. The Australian government is extremely concerned to ensure that young Australians have the best opportunities in any circumstance to get into a job and, if they slip through the cracks, to find their way back. That's why the youth portfolio has been re-created, so we can draw together the elements of the Australian economy and the departments that have oversight of areas in the youth portfolio to actually start to work through all of the issues that we can deal with to prevent young people from falling through the cracks in the way that the Grattan Institute report talks about.
