Mr. Paul Carroll:

I will answer Senator Craughwell before he leaves, as he asked a question three times about the public sector. If an employer has a job available, what should be offered is the job. The Department provides a range of supports to assist that employer in recruiting from the live register. If an employer does not have a job available, he or she can consider offering an internship. In the public sector example that was mentioned, it was stated that if there was no prospect of a job, an internship should not be allowed. The percentage of JobBridge vacancies that are in the public sector is low, but why are they there if there is no prospect of a job?
