Allison Urowitz wrote: “At the end of last year your grant of $10,000 was spent on new laptops for the Indigenous student lounge, which you visited. The university is undergoing planning for the construction of a new space. Access to computers and the internet in the new Indigenous student lounge will be an essential service and these laptops will be instrumental for student use.”
