Thank you, Minister, for that answer. We know that education plays a crucial role in getting people into well-paid, secure jobs. I note that Mr Dutton and the Liberals have described fee-free TAFE as wasteful spending and student debt reduction as profoundly unfair. Why is the Albanese Labor government making TAFE and university more affordable for students, and what challenges does this cost-of-living support face so far?
