Senator FARRELL (South Australia—Minister for Science and Research and Minister Assisting on Tourism) (14:19): Thank you, Senator Mason. No, I will not apologise, because we have nothing to apologise for. Let me go through those figures again. Perhaps you did not understand what I said when I answered your last question. Senator Mason: That's not right. Senator FARRELL: Well, you come up with your own figures, then, Senator Mason. These are the accurate, correct figures. In 2007, when you left government, per student, funding was $16,147. In 2012 it was $17,659. And, by 2017, the projected figure is $18,100. We are delivering. Senator Mason interjecting— Senator FARRELL: But, Senator Mason, if you do not like— The PRESIDENT: Senator Farrell, you should address your comments to the chair and not across the chamber to Senator Mason. Senator FARRELL: Thank you, Mr President. I shall do so. Let's hear what you are going to do to higher education, Senator Mason. (Time expired) Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Every senator is entitled to be heard in silence.
