They do not want to hear this, Mr President! Last Thursday, Universities Australia provided a release which said to the Senate to approve the higher education package:

The peak body representing Australia’s universities calls on the Parliament to support the deregulation of Australian universities with changes to the Government's proposals that will assure affordability for students and taxpayers.

…   …   …   

… the Parliament had a once in a generation opportunity to shape an Australian higher education system that is sustainable, affordable and equitable in serving the best interests of students and the nation.

That is Universities Australia, that is on the record and that is what we are going to do. (Time expired)
