          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:16):</by>  No, I'm not. I know from discussions that I had prior to the election when I took this portfolio and also since the election that there are particular things that young people are concerned about, which the Marshall Liberal government is delivering on. One of those key things, of course, includes opportunities for young people. I would like to commend minister Pisoni for his outstanding results in the apprenticeship and traineeship sector, which is a long-neglected area of public policy in this state.</text>

We know that under the stewardship of minister Wade those areas are also being addressed. So it is not as if delivering on things that are important to young people is being held up by a strategy, but we look forward to providing more details on other areas in a comprehensive way when we bring down the strategy.</text>
