It is retraining. People are well skilled no matter what area of work they are in. We could look at that retraining aspect in terms of Government policy. Another thing that I am interested in procurement policy and how the State uses the money it spends. For example, one of the big issues that comes up regularly - it came up again today - is investment in infrastructure. We need to look at how we can use State spending wisely to create to jobs and at how this can have a knock-on impact within local economies. I come from the west. The western seaboard that does not have the infrastructure it needs. In addition, it does not have as many jobs as are needed.
