There is a problem with the issue of walk-ins. Can the Minister confirm that the regional employment service being proposed will be done by referrals from the Department only? If that is the case, how does the Department propose to provide employment services to cohorts like lone parents, people with disabilities and others who are not in receipt of jobseeker's payments? How are they to be provided with that employment service?
