I also want to add to the observations I made earlier the announcement last week by La Trobe University, which indicated to students entering through their Aspire Program in 2015 that their fees will not increase more than 10 per cent above the regulated student contribution for each year of their degree. That will not make the level of the scare campaign of those opposite either.

The groups that represent universities have issued a number of public statements and they have issued modelling showing that universities can be relied upon to act responsibly in their setting of fees.
