My question is for the Minister for Education and Training, Minister Birmingham. In 2016 the Australian National Audit Office released a report into the management of the HELP scheme. It recommended that your department and the Australian tax office could be more effective in managing the loans scheme. Given your stated preference for efficiency, why have you not opted to improve your in-house administration of this scheme instead of making life more difficult for Australians trying to get a foothold?
