This Budget invests in our future, and the best way for me to evidence how is to tell you the story of a man called Selani. Selani was 38 when he had to give up his job as a navy clerk to care for his sick wife, who was 33 and dying from cancer. At the age of 40, he was left a widower with four children under the age of 11. For eight years, he brought up his children on the domestic purposes benefit, and when his youngest went to college, at the age of 48, he decided to retrain and become a social worker. The training incentive allowance that was in at the time paid for his petrol so he could get to his course without having to sacrifice food on the table for his children.
