The nature of the standing orders prevent me from answering these questions to the extent to which I would like.

There will be ongoing arrangements entered into, I have no doubt. That process is continuing. The Tasmanian government is working with the college to ensure that there is a development plan for the ACTNT in 2010, and will provide some $900,000—(Time expired)
