Labor wants answers on work for dole death

The family of a man killed while doing work for the dole in Toowoomba a year ago is still waiting for answers, the federal opposition says.

Josh Park-Fing, 18, died when he fell from a trailer at the Toowoomba Showgrounds in April 2016.

"You need to tell us, one year on after this young person lost their life, what have you done to make this program safer?" opposition employment services spokesman Ed Husic said at a Sydney rally on Wednesday.

Mr Husic called on the Turnbull government to release its report into the incident and questioned the efficacy of the work for the dole program.

"This is a failing program - 90 per cent of the people that go through it don't have a full-time job three months after they finish," he said.

But Employment Minister Michaelia Cash says the investigation into Mr Park-Fing's death is still ongoing and releasing any information would comprise the process.

"Workplace Health and Safety Queensland continues to investigate this incident and the investigation remains ongoing," Ms Cash said in a statement.

"Given that the Labor party is aware of this situation I would be deeply concerned if it was attempting to politicise the tragic death of Mr Park-Fing."
