I am asking questions about university education in the regions, which is particularly relevant. If the member for Murray ever came to my electorate she would see there is lots of agricultural land in my electorate. We do not live in Sydney or Melbourne or Brisbane. Tertiary education funding for TAFEs and universities is particularly relevant to my seat. I am looking forward to lobbying the minister for funding for the regions, such as tertiary funding for Ipswich, the Lockyer Valley, the Brisbane Valley and the whole of South-East Queensland. Minister, what have we done and what do we intend to do to assist young people and mature-age students in regional areas in South-East Queensland and beyond in terms of funding from your portfolio?
