To respond to Senator Hanson-Young, as Senator Cameron has indicated to the Senate, it is the government's commitment to introduce amendments via the Commonwealth Ombudsman legislation in the first half of next year for establishment of the ombudsman in the middle of next year. In the interim, increased resources and focus will be applied within the department to assist with student complaints.

The CHAIR: The question is that amendments (1) to (25) as moved by the minister on sheet GX140 be agreed to.

Question agreed to.
