With respect to universities, we set out very clearly that they would be subject to the threshold tests of 30 per cent and 50 per cent, depending on their turnover. But we also made the decision, as a government, to provide Commonwealth grants to the universities to ensure that they are receiving money equivalent to what their enrolments would have been pre-COVID. That's some $18 billion we will see in government support for the sector over this year—that's very substantial indeed.
