Kieran Gilbert gave a small prompt about universities being soft power which neither picked up on. But as Emma Shortis says:

It’s a little disappointing that Dutton didn’t really respond to Gilbert’s prompt there around Australia’s university education system as a tool of “soft power”. As the Trump administration attacks universities at home and abroad – including by unilaterally cancelling long running, high impact programs like the Fulbright scholarships program, and even interfering in Australian research independence – there’s a real opportunity for Australia to step up and have a positive impact in the world by supporting higher education and the way it connects us to the rest of the world.
