I am quite happy to relate my experiences. There were services that I was quite happy to pay for, such as the gym and the tennis court. Incidentally, for example, you had to pay for those services anyway at Melbourne university. You had to pay $4 an hour for the use of the tennis court—that was nearly 20 years ago. But I was not happy about paying fees for student newspapers and the various societies and so on that I had no interest whatsoever in joining. My wife was a student at Deakin University. However, she was a student at Deakin University in Perth, and it is an awfully long way to fly from Perth to Geelong to get access to student services and the various guild organisations and so on, yet she had to pay for it.
