I advise the chamber that this is not my first speech, but I have a question for the Minister for Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business, and a fellow Western Australian, Senator Cash. Minister, through bushfires and COVID-19, this year has seen unprecedented pressure on the Australian labour market. Could the minister please update the Senate on how the Morrison government has supported Australians through this once-in-a-century pandemic to stay connected to the labour force and to find employment and, indeed, the skills that they need to re-enter the workforce?
