I refer to Budget Paper No. 3 at page 228 "Royalties for Regions Expenditure", line item, "Relocation of Year Seven Students", and ask, as there was an election commitment to spend $42.6 million in the regions preparing schools for the relocation of year seven, yet in fact $69.7 million from Royalties for Regions has been committed for this purpose, what it the cause of the cost blow out from the original estimate?
