Apologies for sounding a little bit too cute by half, but I just want to point out to Senator Cameron that I think he was speaking to the amendment in relation to stopping public funds going to private for-profit providers, which is the amendment we have already dealt with not the amendment that I spoke to here tonight. Just for the sake of anyone listening or reading Hansard, the Greens amendment that I have moved here tonight is in relation to waiving the debts of students who have been wrongly treated and enrolled in courses that did not exist or were fraudulent, and ensuring that those students are not the ones who are saddled with the debt in years to come.
