My question is to the Minister for Education: We have over 38,000 students in Fowler. Over 15 per cent attend universities and almost 22 per cent are in high school, hoping they'll head in the right direction. While changes to HECS indexation are welcome, what will the government do to stop the doubling of upfront costs for arts students studying subjects such as history, English, politics and health science? Many students come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Why are arts students treated differently?
