00:00Look, I think young people need a better deal and we've got a job to do. We've got responsibilities
00:05as a government to make sure that they get a good chance in life. I don't think that's
00:09happening right now, so we've got to change the system. But what I think the public expect
00:15is for the government to provide opportunity for young people and then an expectation on
00:20young people themselves to step up and take advantage of that. And I think most young
00:24people will. Alan Milburn found in his interim report that 84% of young people want to work
00:30if they can get the chance. Right now, they're just not getting the chance.
