My question is to the Minister for Education. Minister, the legislation we are set to pass this week will cut HECS debts for 2.9 million Australians, which is fantastic. However, the legislation does not help current students undertaking law and arts degrees, whose fees were massively inflated by Scott Morrison's job-ready graduates scheme. I've put forward an amendment to this bill which would scrap Job-Ready Graduates. Will the government accept my amendment so we can get rid of the scheme tomorrow?
