My question is to Senator Lundy representing the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship. On 30 June 2011 the Knight review into the student visa framework handed down 41 recommendations to improve Australia's student visa system. In September 2011, as part of its response to these recommendations, the government announced that it would request DIAC to undertake a review of the student visa assessment level framework, with a discussion paper released in March 2012. To date, education and training providers are still waiting to hear the outcome of this review, even though it was supposed to be released in November last year, and the uncertainty, particularly amongst South Australian providers, is damaging to the sector. Can the minister provide a date for this long awaited announcement?
