Can you be slightly more definitive. My understanding is that what you've said, in answer to my question, is no. Working in consultation never means that you have to accept the advice. Does the minister have to accept the advice of ASQA? If ASQA says, 'This is a class of application,' does the minister have to accept the advice, or can the minister listen and say, 'Thank you for that; however'—and put in place a different class of application?
