Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I refer to Professor Bruce Chapman's statement in The Australian today, on the government's latest deregulation plan:

… I still expect that prices, at least for the Group of Eight strong demand courses, will be at least two and a half times higher …

Can the minister confirm that this would result in $100,000 degrees for four-year courses in law, accounting, veterinary science and business administration—or has Mr Pyne fixed that too?
