Qantas boss Alan Joyce is likely to be called before a parliamentary inquiry into wage theft to be grilled over the company's use of jobkeeper payments.

Labor senator Tony Sheldon has today written to the chairman of the economics reference committee, fellow ALP senator Alex Gallacher, to ask for Joyce to front the committee.

The Senate inquiry into the Coalition's jobs-ready graduate package has concluded - and unsurprisingly the government wants the bill passed and Labor, the Greens and independent Rex Patrick oppose it.

If Pauline Hanson's One Nation votes with the Coalition, Jacqui Lambie and Centre Alliance's Stirling Griff are the swing votes on this bill - but neither took part in the Senate education committee inquiry.

The University of Adelaide articulated its concerns well in its submission with the bill assessed to deliver: ... a 9% increase in Hecs charges [for the students] ... a 15% reduction in federal support [for the university] ... a very significant cut to core funding for university research. This bill is bad for students, bad for universities, bad for research, bad for South Australia and bad for Australia.

The South Australian vice chancellors all agreed that the granting of regional status to their universities would be better, but overall would be a case of three steps backwards, two steps forward. Any amendments to the bill which addressed some funding issues would not solve the problems with student costs and the reduction in research funding.
