In relation to when I was making reference to the additional places that were made available, there were 14,000 additional places made available in the May 2018 budget; 10,000 in the December 2018 MYEFO; 10,000 in the February 2019 budget; 10,000 in the December 2019 MYEFO; in the recent JEFU statement, 6,105 places; and in the most recent budget, 23,000 places. We look forward to making further announcements in this year's MYEFO.
