    "The Liberal Party's own research shows the strongest opposition to the government's bill is in the bedrock 35 per cent of the electorate that is its core support.

    How to you enroll?

    There is no need to prove your UAI/ATAR at enrollment. The universities have access to your uai/atar as they own UAC. Indeed, you would not have received an offer for a place if your UAI was insufficent.
