The claims that are being made about that CRC need to be assessed against the reality of where the research is actually undertaken in this country. That goes to AQIS, that goes to Australian Customs and it goes to a range of other bodies, including the CSIRO, which has undertaken research in this area for some time. So any bid for funding under the CRC program needs to be assessed against the reality. (Time expired)
