That didn't quite address my question. What I want to know is why there is a difference in the bill between the treatment of government and non-government funding. I understand there are different shares, of course, but, as I say, for government schools the funding instrument is not subject to disallowance, yet for non-government school funding it is disallowable. It's a very significant difference. Could you please explain that very important difference and the decision the government has made in this respect?
