I understand that the member for Jagajaga has placed a pretty extensive FOI request with the department seeking documents relating to this pilot tutorial voucher initiative and the evaluation of the pilot. The first response was provided on 13 March and the next on 8 May. Remaining documents were to be provided in two stages; I think some were provided on 22 May and the final stage will be made available as soon as practical. I am sure that the matter of cost and all those other matters can be handled in that FOI request, or in whatever other form suits the member for Jagajaga. The government has not made it a practice to not make information available following reasonable requests. I do not see us changing our approach in this particular matter.
