My question is to the minister representing the Minister for Education, Senator Walsh. Before the last election, the Prime Minister promised that he would introduce paid prac for future nurses, teachers, social workers and midwives. What do you say to Elliot, a just-turned-19 first-year nursing student at UTAS who, when he went to sign up for his paid prac on 1 July, was told he didn't qualify and wouldn't be getting paid because of the rules and guidelines that Mr Albanese has put in place?
