00:00 When one child gets left behind in this country, that is a drag on them and their life, but
00:08 it also is a drag on our nation, which is why we don't want to leave any child behind.
00:14 We live very close to the fastest growing region of the world in human history.
00:21 That presents opportunities and Northern Territory is at the forefront of that.
00:26 In order to do that, we need to have a skilled workforce.
00:29 That starts with early learning, it starts with education through our schools and today's
00:36 announcement will make a big difference.
00:38 We must have all Territorians on a pathway to employment, to have all Territorians working
00:44 and that starts today, where we'll have that additional funding in all our government schools
00:49 to be able to put young children on a pathway to employment.
00:53 That's vital for the Northern Territory.
00:55 We cannot have more generations of young people in the Territory who are unemployed, who don't
01:00 have an option around getting employment.
