In the answer to the primary question I addressed the process through COAG that the government has established. I would make the point that this is a government that is delivering its election commitment of $1.2 billion to provide computers. The Deputy Prime Minister has announced the first round of the delivery of that policy and announced that 896 schools from the Catholic, independent and government sectors in all states were successful in that round. The government does recognise that the on-costs for additional computers for schools is an issue that needs to be addressed, and it is an issue that is being discussed with the education authorities.
