Senator LUNDY (Australian Capital Territory—Minister Assisting for Industry and Innovation, Minister for Multicultural Affairs and Minister for Sport) (14:32): The international education sector in Australia has faced significant challenges over the past four years. The government has responded with a major program of reforms for the sector, including the Baird and Knight reviews. These reforms have strengthened the quality of the international education, increased the integrity of the student visa program and improved the competitiveness of the sector. Since the government announced its response to the strategic review of the student visa program back in September 2011, 22 of the 41 recommendations have been implemented. This has included streamlined visa processing arrangements for universities, the introduction of the genuine temporary entrance requirements, reducing financial requirements for high-risk applicants and the establishment of education visa consultative committees. The government is currently giving high priority to developing its response to the assessment level framework review and an announcement is expected shortly. The government will also introduce poststudy work arrangements for eligible graduates of bachelors, masters and doctoral degrees. Senator Mason: Mr President, I rise on a point of order. I do not take too many points of order, but Senator Lundy really is answering questions relating to student visas. This question relates to education counsellor posts and not visas. The PRESIDENT: Order! I do draw the attention of the minister to the question. The minister has 45 seconds remaining. Senator LUNDY: I was hoping to brief the senator on some background to the broader issue. I am not able to provide specific information about the question he asked, but I am certainly happy to take some advice on it.
