Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Can the minister advise the Senate how Australia’s universities view the government’s reforms? Is there support for action to improve the student income support system? Given the diversity of the higher education sector, can the minister provide information on the attitudes of universities representing different perspectives, in particular those of the research-intensive Group of Eight, the Australian Technology Network of Universities, and Innovative Research Universities Australia? Are these attitudes shared by university students themselves?
