There was a bit of a lack of clarity in relation to that. I am seeking for provision 2 to be amended to replace the word 'may' with 'must' in both line 1 and line 4. Chair, I'm in your hands. If I propose that formally as a motion, do I need to seek leave? Can I seek leave to move that amendment to provision 2?

Leave not granted.

The TEMPORARY CHAIR: No. What I can do to assist the chamber is put the question again, and, if it goes to a division being required tomorrow, hopefully that can be sorted out by tomorrow.

Could I ask the government to confirm something? From you saying that you won't agree to changing the wording in provision 2 from 'may' to 'must' so that there is an obligation to include this provision in the guidelines, I can only deduce that the government is not committed to providing the rights of an internal audit such that students can then access a refund, which is deeply concerning. Why would the government not agree to this if you were committed to giving students a refund using this mechanism?
