My question is for the Minister for Education and Training, Senator Simon Birmingham. Senator Birmingham, this week thousands of students will start university for the first time and approximately 200,000 students from low-income backgrounds will be on start-up scholarships. What support will the government be providing to these students from lower income backgrounds who will now be saddled with thousands of dollars of extra debt following the deal it did with the Labor Party to convert start-up scholarships into loans?
