Ms LE (Fowler) (14:26): Prime Minister, your government's 20 per cent student debt reduction will be welcome by some, but many more will miss out. Last term I introduced my bill, Higher Education Support Amendment (Fair Study and Opportunity) Bill 2024, to reverse the Morrison government's punitive fee hikes for arts students, which saw costs double from around $20,000 to $50,000, hitting students in Fowler the hardest.

Your one-off reduction doesn't fix this. Will you support my bill when I reintroduce it or allow this 80 per cent increase to unfairly burden many students?
