Se n a tor MUIR (Victoria) (14:33): Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I did not go to university but I want my five children to have the option to go to university if that is the path they choose. I am very fortunate to be on a high income for the next six years that I am in this chamber. I hope to be here for six years after that, but who knows? I may end up back in a sawmill on a modest wage. If that is the case, I worry that I will not be in the financial position to be able to support my children to get the quality higher education they choose and I worry that all my friends still working in a sawmill will be in that position. What should I tell my children when they ask me why the government wants to deregulate the sector that could put universities out of reach for millions of ordinary Australians? The PRESIDENT: Senator Muir, I was very generous with you going over time. I remind senators that, if you have a long preamble, you run the risk of running out of time.
