My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister. I refer the Deputy Prime Minister to media reports that the bungled computers in schools program could blow out even further, because the lowest estimate of on-costs for a state or territory is $4,077, well above the government’s estimate of 2½ thousand dollars. And that is the lowest estimate. Is the bungled computers in schools program as open-ended as the Deputy Prime Minister’s other favourite and now discarded policy, Medicare Gold? Deputy Prime Minister, what will the final cost to taxpayers be of the bungled computers in schools policy?
