Minister, TEQSA, the higher education regulator, has been totally missing in action on student safety. Shamefully, TEQSA has failed to even investigate complaints of sexual violence. And in estimates we learned that they've totally canned their reworking of a good-practice note on addressing sexual violence in higher education. Minister, will the government commit to an independent inquiry into TEQSA to ensure that the failures of TEQSA are never repeated again?
