Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. If your higher education reforms were to pass as is, student HECS debt would accrue interest at the government bond rate. Can you explain why a woman or a man who studies at university and then takes time out of the workforce to raise a family should have to pay the government bond rate rather than the CPI and be punished for having a family?
