My question is to the Acting Prime Minister. In a Senate submission about the government's higher education changes, the Western Australian National Party has said:

… the social costs on regional students in WA have been poorly considered … regional students in WA will be disproportionately impacted by these reforms.

How can the Leader of the National Party support the Americanisation of our universities, which will see regional students saddled with a debt sentence?
