Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I thank the minister for his response. I acknowledge that he referred in his answer to student amenities, which are obviously in the budget papers. And I see comments today by the Minister for Youth talking about student amenity projects at their discretion. But can the minister explicitly clarify for the chamber today what projects and services that money in the renewal fund will be used for in relation to the ones he has referred to? The minister talked about democratic representation and he talked about services, not just amenities. Is the minister telling the chamber that that renewal money will specifically go to student services, not just general amenities, and therefore hard infrastructure, as we have come to believe as a result of Tuesday night’s budget?
