59094 (2025). Arena Williams to the Minister for Youth: Does he agree with Christopher Luxon that the primary industries are "crying out for young people" to come and join those sectors and those jobs?

Hon James Meager: In the context his comments were made, yes. This Government has high aspirations for all young Kiwis and the faster we can help young people find sustainable employment, the better the outcomes for them, their families, our communities, and our economy.
