Has this government sanctioned the ability for state schools to take funding inducements for their students to enrol in these courses, or has it issued advice for schools not to take up this unethical practice?</text>

GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (14:54):</by>  I'm not aware of any activity in that space. It's not an issue that schools have raised with me and sought advice from me. Whether they've been engaging with the agency and there's activity at that level, I don't know, but it has certainly not been drawn to my attention in that way. I'm happy to take that part of the question on notice and bring back a response.</text>
