Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I assure the minister I am having no difficulty in hearing her answer. It has been proven that women are harder hit by debt and take longer to pay off interest charges, often due to their family responsibilities, which impacts on their access to education and career opportunities. Given this evidence, can the minister further confirm that women are likely to be more disproportionately impacted by the government's extreme higher education changes?
