Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is to the Minister for Education. Yesterday in question time, the Prime Minister said the Commonwealth taxpayer will continue to cover 50 per cent of people's university education. But the University of Western Australia's fee schedule released yesterday shows that the Commonwealth will cover only 10 per cent for commerce students and 43 per cent for science students. Minister, isn't the Prime Minister's 50 per cent claim just another sham that will massively increase the cost of university for young Australians?
