My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Education, Minister Watt. Given that Australia had fee-free university education from 1974 to 1989 and that several comparable nations continue to provide free or low-cost tertiary education, why does this government continue to support a pay-to-learn model that burdens young Australians with lifelong debt instead of pursuing a return to fee-free education?
