Senator NEWMAN (Social Security) (6:05 PM) —The answer to Senator Margetts's question is that the amount of youth allowance payable to a 19-year-old unemployed person living at home in a family with an income of $36,000 a year depends on the number of other children in the family, their ages and whether the other children receive income support payments. In order to help the committee, I will table a table, which can be copied, which shows the amount of youth allowance that would be paid to this family, the net loss to the young unemployed person, if any, and the net loss to the family for a range of families with one unemployed 19-year-old. The rates quoted are as at 1 July last year and, for those families with children under 16, family payment may be paid. While the young unemployed person's payments may reduce by up to $121.60 a fortnight, the total assistance received by the family may increase under youth allowance depending on the number of children in the family, their ages and activities. I table this table.
