Evaluates the scale of funding ($100m, $8m annually) relative to education outlays, and discusses implications for university and CAE demand, enrolment trends, and secondary schooling competition. Considers political and stakeholder pressures, including teacher unions and state–Commonwealth financial responsibility, and outlines expected pipeline effects through the demographic shift after
