Senator CASH (Western Australia—Assistant Minister for Immigration and Border Protection and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Women) (14:57): I thank Senator Moore for her question. I have to ask, in relation to the NATSEM modelling, was that the modelling that the Labor Party paid for itself or is this different modelling? Because if it was modelling that the Labor Party themselves paid for, I may have to say—a little bit like every time Senator Wong promised us a surplus and failed to deliver—that I may not necessarily agree with that modelling. The answer to your question is no. In relation to this government's changes to higher education, let me assure you of one thing: what we are doing is more than your side ever did for people in this country who actually want to undertake a university education and, in particular, for women in this country. What we are doing is going to ensure that more women are able to access higher education than currently can. In terms of what we are doing, we are doing more— Senator Moore: Mr President, my point of order is on direct relevance to my question, which was about the time proposed to take to pay off student debt should the University of Western Australia increase their benchmark for studies. The question is there. I would just like to have— Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Moore: The minister has not responded to my question. The PRESIDENT: I did hear the minister say quite clearly that the answer to your question was no, partway through her answer. The minister has the right to continue her answer. Senator CASH: I said this to Senator Moore the other day when I responded to a question: the mere fact that you do not like my answer does not mean that it is wrong. My answer to your question is that I do not agree with it. In relation to the debt, the changes that we are bringing in are going to be beneficial not only to women in this country but to all Australians who want to undertake higher education. This is because no student under our government will have to pay one dollar upfront. They will only commence repaying their debt when they earn in excess of $50,000. This is all about ensuring that we have equity in our system.
