This inquiry is particularly important to me as a former student representative. Last year, I spoke to the conference of the New Zealand Union of Students' Associations, and one of the key issues for the student representatives there was this inquiry and its progress. Most if not all of the associations present at that conference had submitters to this inquiry, and they were keen to see changes made for the benefit of students and their families. I hope that the findings and changes as a result of this inquiry start to address the needs that they had identified.
