Yes, I understand that, but the truth of the matter is, we want to actually see this in black and white. I am a bit old-fashioned. I have learned a few things from you and the opposition as well, Senator Cormann, and I want to see these things in black and white. That is why I am proposing these amendments. I understand that the government is not opposing these amendments. I trust they find the favour of the Senate. We simply want to ensure that parents and guardians are informed about the debts their children are entering into with the government. It is a common-sense amendment, which I trust will find favour in the chamber.
