“the QILT data is essential to the higher education sector, as well as to all of its stakeholders, especially the one million Australians who choose to pursue degrees at these institutions.

“It’s indisputable that the public is entitled to data that is collected using taxpayer funds, about public institutions, for public benefit,” he states.
