Minister, given the universities may need to ask of students private information, will any further legislation be required in relation to the protection of those students' privacy? This gives rise to some quite significant legal issues, I put to you, and it is of concern—and my concerns have not been alleviated—that students are being required, or may be required, to hand that personal information over when there doesn't appear to be any cognisance, let alone provisions, in this bill which protects the privacy of thousands of students attending university.
