The delegates never got to answer my first question about the staff allocated to the JobBridge and JobPlus programmes. Although I am not knocking JobBridge, JobPlus is specifically a job creation mechanism; it is a State subsidy for job creation. If it is skewed within the Department such that more staff are allocated to dealing with subsidised work placements under JobBridge than to the job creation mechanism, that is an anomaly.

My other question concerns First Steps. I ask the delegates to bear with me because this is the first time it has been mentioned at this committee. It is not included in Pathways to Work 2015-----
