My question is for the Minister representing the Minister for Education, Senator Walsh. The Albanese Labor government went to the election promising to cut student debt by 20 per cent. We said it would be the first bill that we introduced this term. Can the minister explain why it is so important to reduce HECS debt for our young Australians? More broadly, how will Australians benefit from the government's higher education policy?
