MADAM SPEAKER: A supplementary question, Mr Gentleman.
MR GENTLEMAN: Minister, why is it so important to provide our support for these low-income migrants?
MS BURCH: It is quite critical. Those refugees, asylum seekers and migrants that come to our community often come here with very little and they look to us as a community and a society to provide those opportunities and support. Programs such as these, by providing skills through driving instructing and also supporting social enterprises such as White Nile, give these individuals their individual capacity, their independence, to earn not only for themselves but for the ripple effect through those communities and those families. Having a place in society, society recognising and valuing them and giving them an opportunity for independence cannot be understated.
Ms Gallagher: I ask that all further questions be placed on the notice paper.
