I have a question for the Minister specifically on that rent tax credit. Without having a freeze on rents it will obviously have a limited impact. It is about equity for parents of students who are studying abroad, as too many of them are forced to do. This is the case in particular for the likes of veterinary, physiotherapy and other qualifications we desperately need in this country. They are not eligible for any rebate, concession or rent alleviation. Why is that?
Is he not concerned that we are creating inequity between students?
