My question is to the Minister for Education. Yesterday the minister lauded the United Kingdom's university changes as his inspiration, but the minister's own regulation impact statement found that the fee deregulation in the United Kingdom resulted in a trebling of student fees at most institutions. Why does the minister want to treble university fees and saddle young Australians with a debt sentence?
