My question is to the Minister for Education. It has been reported today that Monash University economics professor and competition expert, Stephen King, says that fee deregulation of universities is a recipe for disaster, suggesting that fees will creep up until Australian students pay about the same as full-fee-paying foreign students. Why is the Abbott government putting the cost of university out of the reach of young Australians?
