As Senator Wong is saying so eloquently across the chamber: 'Seven years in government and you're still talking about what Labor did.' You see, Senator Wong, when you wreak devastation on Australia's vocational education and training sector, when you actually decimate its reputation, it does take years to rebuild. We have now re-credited in excess of $2 billion because of Labor's failed scheme. There were 8½ thousand students in South Australia who had to have their money re-credited because of your failed scheme.

What else have the Morrison government done to ensure that we restore the integrity to Labor's failed system? As you know, skills is a priority for the government and, as such, we've taken action to bolster the regulator, the Australian Skills and Quality Authority, to ensure that quality training is now being delivered by private providers. That is what we are doing.
