The petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws to the attention of the House the state government's omission of Youth and Training Incentive Scheme Initiatives for the Burdekin area. As the Burdekin Youth are already disadvantaged by a lack of employment opportunities due to the depressed economic state of the sugar industry, the introduction of this scheme would provide the youth of the Burdekin with a greater chance of gaining employment within their district. As many of the youth have had to leave their town to gain employment in regional centres such as Townsville.
Your petitioners therefore request the House to urgently introduce the Youth Training Incentive Scheme Initiatives for the Burdekin area.
