SenateThursday 31 July 2025

Universities Accord (Cutting Student Debt by 20 Per Cent) Bill 2025

Senator HANSON-YOUNG (South Australia—Manager of Australian Greens Business in the Senate) (10:25): President, I'd just like to draw attention to the state of the opposition benches for the last 15 minutes. They seem to have been invisible, missing, on the important issue of student debt— The PRESIDENT: Senator Hanson-Young, this is not a time for a statement.

It's not appropriate for a quorum because there are senators in here. The practice in this place is that we don't comment on whether senators are in the chamber or not, and I expect all senators to respect that.
