We are really proud to be supporting Australian students with paid prac. I'm not sure about Elliot's circumstances, Senator Colbeck, but I can tell you that in my portfolio of early childhood education paid prac is making a real difference to people. We have shortages of workers in nursing, we have shortages in teaching, and paid prac is supporting people to stay at university and receive the support they need.
