Mr Speaker, my question is to the Minister for Education, Science and Training. Isn’t it the case that last night’s budget increased the student HECS contribution, effective from January 2008, by more than $1,200 per year for new students studying accounting, economics or commerce? Doesn’t this increase the student HECS contribution by nearly $200 million over the life of a three-year degree?
