On 28 August the Australian Technology Network said:

Deregulation is a threshold issue for the sector and its passage through the Senate is crucial to protect the international reputation for quality higher education, representing around $15 Billion in export earnings for Australia.

So the shadow minister can selectively quote if she chooses to. She can selectively quoted as much she likes. The tragedy for the Labor Party is that they are off piste with the university sector. I am sure they assumed that when the government handed down the biggest market economic reform in Australia's history to universities that the university sector would splinter and not support them.
