House debates Questions without Notice
University Fees

Mr Speaker, my question is to the Treasurer. We have heard the Prime Minister talking about flip, flop, flap. Will the Treasurer rule out slip, slop or slapping a new tax, levy or compulsory fees on university students?
Wayne Swan Lilley, Australian Labor Party, Treasurer
I am not ruling anything in or out, whether it is slip, slop, slap or anything else, because we are in a budget process.
