Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Can the minister inform the Senate what specific measures are being taken to increase the participation of Australians from low socioeconomic backgrounds in higher education? Has the government set a target for participation by these Australians and, if so, what is it? What social and economic benefits can we expect from achieving such a target?
