Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Minister, your budget carries with it the strong message that this is a budget for future generations and that you want to see young people either earning or learning, but changes in the budget mean that the cost of a degree from some universities will now skyrocket, with some courses soon to cost more than $100,000 and with young people facing a further hit with the interest to student loans set to become more expensive. Minister, if this is a budget for future generations, why have you punished them and let the big end of town off scot-free?
