This is not dealing with the reality of what is in the internal audit. The internal audit is damning. It shows the rules that existed were not even being applied, that there was no way of working out whether job displacement was taking place, that when more than 500 companies were advertising in a way that was against the rules, nobody did anything about it. The scheme was designed to be exploited by companies. In his opening response, the Minister said 19,000 employers got the opportunity to take people on. It is great for the employers who get free labour. From the evidence that is publicly available so far - let us see the second Indecon report - there is no indication that JobBridge enables people to get real jobs as opposed to exploiting them.
