For the benefit of the chamber and the clerks, I table a supplementary explanatory memorandum relating to the government's amendment to be moved to the VET Student Loans Bill.

In relation to your question, Senator Leyonhjelm, I am not sure I am in a position to give you the exact departmental operational expenditure as it relates to the VET FEE-HELP arrangements at present. If I can get something for you during the questioning or the debate, I will, but I am afraid I cannot do that right at this second.
