Dr Arthur is absolutely correct in what he says. No, there is no government decision. If you go back and read what the Australian newspaper has attributed to me, you will see that it was a comment that I would like to see more streamlining of the programs that universities seek to access funding from. So, no, there is no government decision and there is no government policy. I made the comment in relation to the number of programs that are currently available for universities under which they apply for funding. Dr Arthur is absolutely correct.
