I move the Greens' amendment on sheet 1948:
At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate notes that this bill does nothing to mitigate the student debt crisis at a time when student debts are increasing at an out-of-control pace, and calls on the Government to:
(a) recognise that education is a public good which should be free and universal;
(b) make university and TAFE fee-free; and
(c) wipe all student debt".
