If the member opposite is asserting that a person who is capable of working full time, who has no parenting duties, who is not a disadvantaged job seeker should be on welfare rather than work, then we disagree. We disagree because we believe that young people under the age of 30 who are capable of working full time should be earning or learning. That is what they should be doing. Just as the Prime Minister explained before, that is the policy of this government. What is wrong with that?
