I am not aware of any instances where a social welfare office sent somebody in on work experience. I do not understand. I am sorry, I genuinely do not understand. There are work placement programmes. There are all sorts of programmes when you engage in job activation, whether the community employment schemes or back to education. There are all sorts of different ways to get back into the workforce and to reskill and upskill. I am not clear on what the Senators are talking about with regard to work experience, but I do not want to take up more time because I know there are other amendments.
