Labor does not support these amendments. The extension of loans in the system may have some value, but simply adding the private providers to the list is not the right way to go about it. We understand Senator Bernardi's intention here, but the issue of loan fees is another issue that Labor are concerned about and we'll consider it in our national inquiry into post-secondary education if we win the next election.
