I completely accept the need to protect the examinations. Nobody wants to have to resit an examination. However, it would be meaningful for them to hear from the Minister that there is a concern around the human rights issues. My views are shared by Senator Erin McGreehan, who wanted to be here tonight, and Senator Martin Conway. We are like mini-coalition on this issue. We are very concerned about what this means for students.
