I will draw the committee's attention to where we are up to. I had asked the Parliamentary Secretary for School Education and Workplace Relations a question in relation to subclause 19-38(4)(f). To remind the parliamentary secretary, my question was whether the phrase 'promoting the health or welfare of students' would prohibit student clubs or organisations from promoting a political cause. For example, it might be argued that the promotion of a carbon tax or a campaign such as Your Rights at Work might be for the welfare of students. So my question is: will subclause 19-38(4)(f), on the promotion of the welfare of students, prohibit the use of student moneys for that purpose?
