Mr President, I ask a second supplementary question. Data show that overseas student numbers have dropped in the last three years, with revenue in South Australia, for instance, dropping from $1.03 billion in 2010 to $884 million in 2011. The concern in the sector in South Australia has been that, if this trend continues, it could put hundreds of jobs at risk. Can the minister provide any information on how this drop has been addressed during the review process?
