Thank you, Senator Colbeck. The Albanese Labor government is delivering on our promise. We are delivering on our commitment to deliver paid prac for students of nursing, midwifery, social work and education. This is a game changer for tens of thousands of university students in critical degrees and occupations—and you know what? There are tens of thousands of people who will benefit from this, which is tens of thousands more people than would benefit if you were in government, because the number of people who would have paid prac if you were in government is zero.
