RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:23):</by>  Further supplementary: given that the minister has just admitted that she has asked questions and been provided with some answers on the fee structure, did she inquire as to why the fees had gone up some 476 per cent for this particular course?</text>

David Ridgway come into this place and deliberately mislead this place. He knows he is misleading this place. He knows that in my answer, I did not in fact say that I had asked questions about the fee structure. He knows I did not say that. What I said was that I had received some information about proposed fee structures but was not consulted. </text>
        <text id="201503189e758adcd07f47e7a0000029">He knows that was the language I used. He knows that, and yet he comes into this place day after day and misleads this place, and it is a dishonest way to be using language and information. Again, I can say I was given information, Mr President. Part of that information in relation to the fee structures was that there were, if I can recall, increases in some areas and there were decreases in others that reflected the costs associated with the delivery of those services.</text>
