I move amendment No. 4:

In page 6, to delete lines 10 to 12.

Amendment No. 4 relates to the appeals mechanism. As the legislation is drafted, the mechanism operates only on the basis of how grades are transmitted to the Department. The mechanism is technical, limited and unlikely to make any difference for the vast majority of students if there is an error or problem with accredited grades. The amendment is to allow for a more substantial appeal, which many students were seeking last year. They wanted an opportunity to have a broader appeals process. Could the Minister provide for that by way of regulation?
