This is either a case of misreporting, or it’s yet another sign that the #labor govt is pussy-footing around the obvious policy direction. FFS, what is so hard to understand the harm the #JRG (#Morrisson ‘s fartbubble) is doing to #TertiaryStudents and education generally? Just cancel the damned thing. We don’t need yet another report to tell us what needs to be done.

“Education minister to introduce bill to establish Australian Tertiary Education Commission

Later this morning the education minister will introduce a bill to formally establish the Australian Tertiary Education Commission (Atec), which is the body that has been charged with looking at the job-ready graduates program – among other university reforms.

As reported a little earlier this month, the legislation won’t pass this week (with only one more sitting day to go after today), with the government’s focus on the environment legislation.

It means that while the Atec is now operating in an interim capacity, the formal legislated body will only be set up later next year – despite the government initially planning for it to be established by 1 January.” (Source: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/live/2025/nov/26/politics-live-labor-epbc-nature-laws-murray-watt-greens-coalition-anthony-albanese-sussan-ley-ted-obrien-national-press-club-ndis-fines-cpi-question-time-ntwnfb )
