Stephen Smith (Perth, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Education and Training) Share this | Hansard source

I thank the parliamentary secretary for clarifying in the House on behalf of the minister the point in respect of overseas students and limiting that to New Zealand and some permanent visa holders. This was the advice given to my office by the minister’s office and I am pleased, as I requested it in my second reading contribution, for that to be placed on the record. Secondly, as I also indicated in my second reading contribution, the amendments before the House seem to be of a technical nature and rectify errors and omissions. As such, they are supported.

Question agreed to.

Bill, as amended, agreed to.
