Comments from the Shadow Minister for Young Victorians Steph Ryan:
“Today’s announcement is a stark reminder that Daniel Andrews is failing to deliver on his promise to deliver 100,000 full-time jobs in Victoria within two years of coming to office.
“The real issue here is that since Daniel Andrews came to office there are 6,000 fewer full-time jobs in Victoria.
“Daniel Andrews’ announcement doesn’t address the needs of the most vulnerable young people – given it relies on participants having completed their secondary school education.”
