Education Quote by Anne Campbell

A ministerial voice trying to sound calm while quietly grabbing the wheel. Campbell’s line is less a neutral clarification than a defensive maneuver in the wake of a policy shift: the “new Act” is doing something controversial enough that public understanding has become a political battlefield. By leading with “misinformation,” she frames criticism not as disagreement but as error. That’s a classic governing tactic: redefine the debate from values (Is this fair?) to facts (You’ve been misled), then appoint yourself the fact-checker.

The phrasing also does careful reputational work. “There is still a lot” implies an ongoing problem, but it avoids naming who is spreading it. That omission keeps the statement above the fray while still signaling that opponents, journalists, student groups, or even universities are getting it wrong. It’s chastisement without attribution, which lets her look responsible rather than combative.

The second sentence is the real power move: institutional policy is redirected to a personal platform. “The students page on my website” turns a complex funding settlement into a curated explainer under her control. In the pre-social era, that might sound like public service; in a contested reform moment, it functions as message discipline. You don’t argue in Parliament or the press; you “check the page.”

Subtextually, it’s also a narrowing of who counts as the audience. Students are positioned as the affected party who must be managed through information, not as stakeholders who might legitimately contest the arrangement. The intent isn’t only to inform; it’s to stabilize consent.
