I think a number of very constructive contributions have been made in relation to the Higher Education Support Amendment (VET FEE-HELP and Other Measures) Bill 2011 and I do not think any substantive matters have arisen to which I should respond. I simply conclude the second reading debate by commending the bill to the House, particularly for its purpose of improving the quality framework of the government's income contingent loans program.

Question agreed to.

Bill read a second time.
